Psalm 72:5-16 Amplified Bible (AMP)

5. So that they may revere and fear You while the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations.

6. May he [Solomon as a type of King David's greater Son] be like rain that comes down upon the mown grass, like showers that water the earth.

7. In His [Christ's] days shall the [uncompromisingly] righteous flourish and peace abound till there is a moon no longer. [Isa. 11:3-9.]

8. He [Christ] shall have dominion also from sea to sea and from the River [Euphrates] to the ends of the earth. [Zech. 14:9.]

9. Those who dwell in the wilderness shall bow before Him and His enemies shall lick the dust.

10. The kings of Tarshish and of the coasts shall bring offerings; the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.

11. Yes, all kings shall fall down before Him, all nations shall serve Him. [Ps. 138:4.]

12. For He delivers the needy when he calls out, the poor also and him who has no helper.

13. He will have pity on the poor and weak and needy and will save the lives of the needy.

14. He will redeem their lives from oppression and fraud and violence, and precious and costly shall their blood be in His sight.

15. And He shall live; and to Him shall be given gold of Sheba; prayer also shall be made for Him and through Him continually, and they shall bless and praise Him all the day long.

16. There shall be abundance of grain in the soil upon the top of the mountains [the least fruitful places in the land]; the fruit of it shall wave like [the forests of] Lebanon, and [the inhabitants of] the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.
