Psalms 72:5-13
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 72
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. 10 May the kings of Tarshish and of the islands bring gifts; May the kings of Sheba and Seba offer tributes. 11 And may all kings bow down before him, All nations serve him. 12For he will save the needy when he cries for help, The afflicted also, and him who has no helper. 13He will have compassion on the poor and needy, And he will save the lives of the needy.King James Version
Chapter 72
5They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations. 6He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers that water the earth. 7In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth. 8He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth. 9They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; and his enemies shall lick the dust. 10The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts. 11Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve him. 12For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper. 13He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy.Christian Standard Bible
