Psalms 72:2-11 Common English Bible (CEB)

2. Let him judge your people with righteousnessand your poor ones with justice.

3. Let the mountains bring peace to the people;let the hills bring righteousness.

4. Let the king bring justice to people who are poor;let him save the children of those who are needy,but let him crush oppressors!

5. Let the king live as long as the sun,as long as the moon,generation to generation.

6. Let him fall like rain upon fresh-cut grass,like showers that water the earth.

7. Let the righteous flourish throughout their lives,and let peace prosper until the moon is no more.

8. Let the king rule from sea to sea,from the river to the ends of the earth.

9. Let the desert dwellers bow low before him;let his enemies lick the dust.

10. Let the kings of Tarshish and the islands bring tribute;let the kings of Sheba and Seba present gifts.

11. Let all the kings bow down before him;let all the nations serve him.
