5May his life go on as long as the sun and moon, through all generations.
6May he come down like rain on the cut grass; like showers watering the earth.
7In his days may the upright do well, living in peace as long as there is a moon in heaven.
8Let his kingdom be from sea to sea, from the River to the ends of the earth.
9Let those who are against him go down before him; and let his haters be low in the dust.
10Let the kings of Tarshish and of the islands come back with offerings; let the kings of Sheba and Seba give of their stores.
11Yes, let all kings go down before him; let all nations be his servants.
12For he will be a saviour to the poor in answer to his cry; and to him who is in need, without a helper.
13He will have pity on the poor, and be the saviour of those who are in need.
14He will keep their souls free from evil designs and violent attacks; and their blood will be of value in his eyes.
15May he have long life, and may gold from Sheba be given to him: may prayers be made for him at all times; may blessings be on him every day.
16May there be wide-stretching fields of grain in the land, shaking on the top of the mountains, full of fruit like Lebanon: may its stems be unnumbered like the grass of the earth.
17May his name go on for ever, as long as the sun: may men be blessing themselves by him; may all nations be blessing his name.
18Praise be to the Lord God, the God of Israel, the only doer of wonders.
