8. Let his kingdom grow from sea to sea, from the Euphrates River to the faraway places on earth.
9. May all the people living in the desert bow down to him. May all his enemies bow before him with their faces in the dirt.
10. May the kings of Tarshish and all the faraway lands by the sea bring gifts to him. May the kings of Sheba and Seba bring their tribute to him.
11. May all kings bow down to our king. May all nations serve him.
12. Our king helps the poor who cry out to him— those in need who have no one to help them.
13. He feels sorry for all who are weak and poor. He protects their lives.
14. He saves them from the cruel people who try to hurt them. Their lives are important to him.
15. Long live the king! Let him receive gold from Sheba. Always pray for the king. Ask God to bless him every day.
16. May the fields grow plenty of grain and the hills be covered with crops. May the fields be as fertile as Lebanon, and may people fill the cities as grass covers a field.
17. May the king be famous forever. May people remember his name as long as the sun shines. May all nations be blessed through him, and may they all bless him.
