10 [a]May the kings of (A)Tarshish and of the [b](B)islands bring gifts;
May the kings of (C)Sheba and (D)Seba (E)offer tributes.
11 [c]And may all (F)kings bow down before him,
All (G)nations serve him.

12 For he will (H)save the needy when he cries for help,
The [d]afflicted also, and him who has no helper.
13 He will have (I)compassion on the poor and needy,
And he will save the [e]lives of the needy.
14 He will [f](J)rescue their [g]life from oppression and violence,
And their blood will be (K)precious in his sight;
15 So may he live, and may the (L)gold of Sheba be given to him;
And [h]they are to pray for him continually;
[i]They are to bless him all day long.
