Psalm 72:13

A Prayer For The King

¹² For he will deliver the needy when he cries for help,
The afflicted also, and him who has no helper.
¹³ He will have compassion on the poor and needy,
And the lives of the needy he will save.
¹⁴ He will rescue their life from oppression and violence,
And their blood will be precious in his sight;

Have Mercy

Poor and Needy

Spare the Poor and Needy
