Psalm 72 is a prayer to Elohim for the king. It was written by Solomon. In this prayer he asks:
4: May he grant justice to the people who are oppressed.
May he save the children of needy people
and crush their oppressor.
He makes some statements about the king:
12 He will rescue the needy person who cries for help
and the oppressed person who has no one’s help.
13 He will have pity on the poor and needy
and will save the lives of the needy.
14 He will rescue them from oppression and violence.
Their blood will be precious in his sight.
The king has power and he must use his power to defend the oppressed ones. Solomon prays that he becomes an instrument of the Lord. Our Lord is a good lord. He wants to rescue the poor and needy.
