Psalms 72:5-15 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

5. Help him live as long as the sun shines.Help him rule as long as the moon glows.Let him be king from now on!

6. Let him be like rain on the grass,like showers that water the earth.

7. Let goodness be plentiful while he lives.Let peace continue as long as there is a moon.

8. Let his kingdom go from sea to sea,and from the Euphrates River to the ends of the earth.

9. Let the people of the desert bow down to him.And make his enemies lick the dust.

10. Let the kings of Tarshish and the faraway landsbring him gifts.Let the kings of Sheba and Sebabring their presents to him.

11. Let all kings bow down to him.Let all nations serve him.

12. He will help the poor when they cry for help.He will help the needy when no one else will help them.

13. He will be kind to the weak and poor.He will save their lives.

14. He will save them from cruel people who try to hurt them.Their lives are precious to him.

15. Long live the king!Let him receive gold from Sheba.Let people always pray for him.Let them bless him all day long.
