Psalm 72B

Niagara L.M. (Robert Jackson, 1840-1914)

11 All kings will humbly bow to him;
and nations worship him with fear.
12 He’ll save the needy when they call,
the poor for whom no help is near.

13 He will take pity on the weak
and save them from oppressive might.
14 He’ll rescue them from violence;
their blood is precious in his sight.

15 Long may he live! May Sheba’s gold
be giv’n to him abundantly!
May people ever pray for him
and bless his name continually.

16 Let grain abound throughout the land,
the tops of hills their harvest yield;
May they bear fruit like Lebanon
and thrive as grass grows in the field.

17 Forever may his name endure;
may it continue as the sun.
All nations will be blessed in him,
whom they will call the blessèd one.

18 Blest be the God of Israël,
19 the whole earth filled with his glory,
His name be praised eternally;
Amen, Amen; so may it be.
