12 He will rescue the needy person who cries for helpand the oppressed person who has no one’s help.
13 He will have pity on the poor and needyand will save the lives of the needy.
14 He will rescue them from oppression and violence.Their blood will be precious in his sight.
15 May he live long.May the gold from Sheba be given to him.May ⌊the people⌋ pray for him continually.May ⌊they⌋ praise him all day long.
16 May there be plenty of grain in the land.May it wave ⌊in the breeze⌋ on the mountaintops,its fruit like ⌊the treetops of⌋ Lebanon.May those from the city flourish like the grass on the ground.
17 May his name endure forever.May his name continue as long as the sun ⌊shines⌋.May all nations be blessed through him and call him blessed.
18 Thank the Lord God, the God of Israel,who alone does miracles.
