New Testament

Psalm 72:9-16 New International Version Anglicized (NIVUK)

9. May the desert tribes bow before himand his enemies lick the dust.

10. May the kings of Tarshish and of distant shoresbring tribute to him.May the kings of Sheba and Sebapresent him with gifts.

11. May all kings bow down to himand all nations serve him.

12. For he will deliver the needy who cry out,the afflicted who have no one to help.

13. He will take pity on the weak and the needyand save the needy from death.

14. He will rescue them from oppression and violence,for precious is their blood in his sight.

15. Long may he live!May gold from Sheba be given to him.May people ever pray for himand bless him all day long.

16. May corn abound throughout the land;on the tops of the hills may it sway.May the crops flourish like Lebanonand thrive like the grass of the field.
