Psalms 72:7-17

Psalms 72:7-17 AMP

In his days may the righteous flourish, And peace abound until the moon is no more. [Is 11:1-9] ¶May he also rule from sea to sea And from the River [Euphrates] to the ends of the earth. [Zech 14:9] The nomads of the desert will bow before him, And his enemies will lick the dust. The kings of Tarshish and of the islands will bring offerings; The kings of Sheba and Seba will offer gifts. Yes, all kings will bow down before him, All nations will serve him. [Ps 138:4] ¶For he will rescue the needy when he cries for help, The afflicted and abused also, and him who has no helper. He will have compassion on the poor and needy, And he will save the lives of the needy. He will redeem their life from oppression and fraud and violence, And their blood will be precious in His sight. So may he live, and may the gold of Sheba be given to him; And let them pray for him continually; Let them bless and praise him all day long. ¶There will be an abundance of grain in the soil on the top of the mountains; Its fruit will wave like [the cedars of] Lebanon, And those of the city will flourish like grass of the earth. May his name endure forever; May his name continue as long as the sun; And let men bless themselves by him; Let all nations call him blessed.
