12 He rescues the poor who call to him,and those who are needy and neglected.
13 He has pity on the weak and poor;he saves the lives of those in need.
14 He rescues them from oppression and violence;their lives are precious to him.
15 Long live the king!May he be given gold from Sheba;may prayers be said for him at all times;may God's blessings be on him always!
16 May there be plenty of corn in the land;may the hills be covered with crops,as fruitful as those of Lebanon.May the cities be filled with people,like fields full of grass.
17 May the king's name never be forgotten;may his fame last as long as the sun.May all nations ask God to bless themas he has blessed the king.
18 Praise the Lord, the God of Israel!He alone does these wonderful things.
