New Testament

Psalms 72:6-15 Modern English Version (MEV)

6. May he descend like rain on the mown grass,as showers dripping on the earth.

7. In his days may the righteous flourish,and abundance of peace until the moon is no more.

8. May he have dominion from sea to sea,and from the River to the ends of the earth.

9. May those who dwell in the wilderness bow before him,and his enemies lick the dust.

10. May the kings of Tarshish and of the islesbring presents;the kings of Sheba and Seba offer a gift.

11. May all kings bow down before him;may all nations serve him.

12. Indeed, may he deliver the needy when he cries;the poor also, and him who has no helper.

13. May he have compassion on the poor and needy,and save the lives of the needy.

14. May he redeem their life from deceit and violence;and may their blood be precious in his sight.

15. May he live long,and may one give him the gold of Sheba;and pray for him continually;and all day long may he be blessed.
