Psalm 72:6-16 American Standard Version (ASV)

6. He will come down like rain upon the mown grass, As showers that water the earth.

7. In his days shall the righteous flourish, And abundance of peace, till the moon be no more.

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

9. They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; And his enemies shall lick the dust.

10. The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall render tribute: The kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.

11. Yea, all kings shall fall down before him; All nations shall serve him.

12. For he will deliver the needy when he crieth, And the poor, that hath no helper.

13. He will have pity on the poor and needy, And the souls of the needy he will save.

14. He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence; And precious will their blood be in his sight:

15. And they shall live; and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: And men shall pray for him continually; They shall bless him all the day long.

16. There shall be abundance of grain in the earth upon the top of the mountains; The fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon: And they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.
