Psalm 72:5-12
New International Version
5 May he endure[a](A) as long as the sun,
as long as the moon, through all generations.(B)
6 May he be like rain(C) falling on a mown field,
like showers watering the earth.
7 In his days may the righteous flourish(D)
and prosperity abound till the moon is no more.
8 May he rule from sea to sea
and from the River[b](E) to the ends of the earth.(F)
9 May the desert tribes bow before him
and his enemies lick the dust.
10 May the kings of Tarshish(G) and of distant shores(H)
bring tribute to him.
May the kings of Sheba(I) and Seba
present him gifts.(J)
11 May all kings bow down(K) to him
and all nations serve(L) him.
12 For he will deliver the needy who cry out,
the afflicted who have no one to help.
