Psalms 72:6-15 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

6. May he be like rain coming down upon the fields,like showers watering the earth,

7. That abundance may flourish in his days,great bounty, till the moon be no more.

8. May he rule from sea to sea,from the river to the ends of the earth.

9. May his foes kneel before him,his enemies lick the dust.

10. May the kings of Tarshish and the islands bring tribute,the kings of Sheba and Seba offer gifts.

11. May all kings bow before him,all nations serve him.

12. For he rescues the poor when they cry out,the oppressed who have no one to help.

13. He shows pity to the needy and the poorand saves the lives of the poor.

14. From extortion and violence he redeems them,for precious is their blood in his sight.

15. Long may he live, receiving gold from Sheba,prayed for without cease, blessed day by day.
