Psalms 72:8

Compare all

6 ^aHe shall come down like rain upon the grass before mowing,
Like showers that water the earth.

7 In His days the righteous shall flourish,
^aAnd abundance of peace,
Until the moon is no more.

8 ^aHe shall have dominion also from sea to sea,
And from the River to the ends of the earth.

9 ^aThose who dwell in the wilderness will bow before Him,
^bAnd His enemies will lick the dust.

10 ^aThe kings of Tarshish and of the isles
Will bring presents;
The kings of Sheba and Seba
Will offer gifts.

11 ^aYes, all kings shall fall down before Him;
All nations shall serve Him.

12 For He ^awill deliver the needy when he cries,
The poor also, and him who has no helper.

13 He will spare the poor and needy,
And will save the souls of the needy.

14 He will redeem their life from oppression and violence;
And ^aprecious shall be their blood in His sight.

15 And He shall live;
And the gold of ^aSheba will be given to Him;
Prayer also will be made for Him continually,
And daily He shall be praised.

16 There will be an abundance of grain in the earth,
On the top of the mountains;
Its fruit shall wave like Lebanon;
^aAnd those of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.

17 ^aHis name shall endure forever;
His name shall continue as long as the sun.
And ^bmen shall be blessed in Him;
^cAll nations shall call Him blessed.

18 ^aBlessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel,
^bWho only does wondrous things!

19 And ^ablessed be His glorious name forever!
^bAnd let the whole earth be filled with His glory.
Amen and Amen.

20 The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
