Psalms 72:14

72:14 From harm and violence he will defend them; ¹ 

he will value their lives. ² 

[72:14]  ¹ tn Or “redeem their lives.” The verb “redeem” casts the Lord in the role of a leader who protects members of his extended family in times of need and crisis (see Pss 19:14; 69:18).

[72:14]  ² tn Heb “their blood will be precious in his eyes.”
