Let his kingdom go from sea to sea,
    and from the Euphrates River to the ends of the earth.
Let the people of the desert bow down to him,
    and make his enemies lick the dust.
10 Let the kings of Tarshish and the faraway lands
    bring him gifts.
Let the kings of Sheba and Seba
    bring their presents to him.
11 Let all kings bow down to him
    and all nations serve him.

12 He will help the poor when they cry out
    and will save the needy when no one else will help.
13 He will be kind to the weak and poor,
    and he will save their lives.
14 He will save them from cruel people who try to hurt them,
    because their lives are precious to him.
