2. Then he will rule your people in the right way. He will be fair to those among your people who are hurting.
3. The mountains and the hills will produce rich crops, because the people will do what is right.
4. The king will stand up for those who are hurting. He will save the children of those who are in need. He will crush those who beat others down.
5. He will rule as long as the sun shines and the moon gives its light. He will rule for all time to come.
6. He will be like rain falling on the fields. He will be like showers watering the earth.
7. Godly people will do well as long as he rules. They will have more than they need as long as the moon lasts.
8. He will rule from ocean to ocean. His kingdom will reach from the Euphrates River to the ends of the earth.
