Psalms 72:3-9
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 72
3 May the mountains bring peace to the people, And the hills, in righteousness. 4 May he vindicate the afflicted of the people, Save the children of the needy, And crush the oppressor. 5 May they fear You while the sun shines, And as long as the moon shines, throughout all generations. 6 May he come down like rain upon the mown grass, Like showers that water the earth. 7 May the righteous flourish in his days, As well as an abundance of peace, until the moon is no more. 8May he also rule from sea to sea, And from the Euphrates River to the ends of the earth. 9 May the nomads of the desert bow before him, And his enemies lick the dust.King James Version

3May the mountains yield prosperity for all, and may the hills be fruitful. 4Help him to defend the poor, to rescue the children of the needy, and to crush their oppressors. 5May they fear you as long as the sun shines, as long as the moon remains in the sky. Yes, forever!
6May the king’s rule be refreshing like spring rain on freshly cut grass, like the showers that water the earth.
7May all the godly flourish during his reign. May there be abundant prosperity until the moon is no more.
8May he reign from sea to sea, and from the Euphrates River to the ends of the earth.
9Desert nomads will bow before him; his enemies will fall before him in the dust.
