Psalms 72:6-15

⁶He cometh down as rain on mown grass, As showers — sprinkling the earth.

⁷Flourish in his days doth the righteous, And abundance of peace till the moon is not.

⁸And he ruleth from sea unto sea, And from the river unto the ends of earth.

⁹Before him bow do the inhabitants of the dry places, And his enemies lick the dust.

¹⁰Kings of Tarshish and of the isles send back a present. Kings of Sheba and Seba a reward bring near.

¹¹And all kings do bow themselves to him, All nations do serve him,

¹²For he delivereth the needy who crieth, And the poor when he hath no helper,

¹³He hath pity on the poor and needy, And the souls of the needy he saveth,

¹⁴From fraud and from violence he redeemeth their soul, And precious is their blood in his eyes.

¹⁵And he liveth, and giveth to him of the gold of Sheba, And prayeth for him continually, All the day he doth bless him.
