[a]May the (A)righteous flourish in his days,
As well as an (B)abundance of peace, until the moon is no more.

May he also rule (C)from sea to sea,
And from the Euphrates River to the ends of the earth.
[b]May (D)the nomads of the desert (E)bow before him,
And his enemies (F)lick the dust.
10 [c]May the kings of (G)Tarshish and of the [d](H)islands bring gifts;
May the kings of (I)Sheba and (J)Seba (K)offer tributes.
11 [e]And may all (L)kings bow down before him,
All (M)nations serve him.
