Psalm 72:4-6

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁴May he defend the cause of the poor of the people,
give deliverance to the needy,
and crush the oppressor.

⁵May he live^[a] while the sun endures,
and as long as the moon, throughout all generations.
⁶May he be like rain that falls on the mown grass,
like showers that water the earth.
