Psalms 72:9-17 Good News Bible Anglicised (GNBDC)

9. The peoples of the desert will bow down before him;his enemies will throw themselves to the ground.

10. The kings of Spain and of the islands will offer him gifts;the kings of Sheba and Seba will bring him offerings.

11. All kings will bow down before him;all nations will serve him.

12. He rescues the poor who call to him,and those who are needy and neglected.

13. He has pity on the weak and poor;he saves the lives of those in need.

14. He rescues them from oppression and violence;their lives are precious to him.

15. Long live the king!May he be given gold from Sheba;may prayers be said for him at all times;may God's blessings be on him always!

16. May there be plenty of corn in the land;may the hills be covered with crops,as fruitful as those of Lebanon.May the cities be filled with people,like fields full of grass.

17. May the king's name never be forgotten;may his fame last as long as the sun.May all nations ask God to bless themas he has blessed the king.
