Tehillim 72:6-16 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

6. He shall come down like matar (rain) upon the mown field, as showers watering eretz.

7. In his yamim shall the tzaddik flourish; and abundance of shalom so long as the yarei'ach endureth.

8. He [Moshiach Ben Dovid] shall have dominion also from yam to yam, and from nahar (river) unto the afsei eretz (the ends of the earth).

9. They that dwell in the desert shall bow before him; and his oyevim (enemies) shall lick the aphar (dust).

10. The melachim of Tarshish and of the iyim (islands) shall bring minchah (tribute); the melachim of Sheva and Seva shall offer gifts.

11. Kol melachim shall fall down before him [Moshiach]; kol Goyim shall serve him.

12. For he shall deliver the evyon (needy) when he crieth; the oni (poor, afflicted) also, and him that hath no ozer (helper).

13. He shall pity the weak and evyon (needy), and yoshi'a (he shall save) the nefashot of the evyonim (needy).

14. He shall be the Go'el Redeemer of their nefesh from deceit and chamas; and precious shall their dahm be in his sight.

15. And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the zahav of Sheva; and prayer shall be for him continually; and daily shall a berakhah be made on him.

16. There shall be an abundance of grain on ha'aretz upon the top of the harim (mountains); the fruit thereof shall shake [in the trees like in] Levanon; and they of the city shall flourish like esev ha'aretz.
