14 He will ·save [redeem] them from ·cruel people who try to hurt them [L violence and oppression],

15 Long live the king!
    Let him receive gold from Sheba [v. 10].
Let people always pray for him
    and ·bless [praise] him all day long.
16 Let ·the fields grow plenty of grain [L there be much grain in the land/earth]
    and ·the hills be covered with crops [L let there be abundance on the top of the mountains; or let it wave on the top of the mountains].
·Let the land be as fertile as Lebanon [L May its fruit be like that of Lebanon],
    and let the cities grow like the grass in a field.
