New Testament

Psalms 72:6-15 Common English Bible (CEB)

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.

12. Let it be so, because he delivers the needy who cry out,the poor, and those who have no helper.

13. He has compassion on the weak and the needy;he saves the lives of those who are in need.

14. He redeems their lives from oppression and violence;their blood is precious in his eyes.

15. Let the king live long!Let Sheba’s gold be given to him!Let him be prayed for always!Let him be blessed all day long!
