2. Help the king judge your people fairly. Help him make wise decisions for your poor people.
3. Let there be peace and justice throughout the land, known on every mountain and hill.
4. May the king be fair to the poor. May he help the helpless and punish those who hurt them.
5. May people always fear and respect you, God, as long as the sun shines and the moon is in the sky.
6. Help the king be like rain falling on the fields, like showers falling on the land.
7. Let goodness grow everywhere while he is king. Let peace continue as long as there is a moon.
8. Let his kingdom grow from sea to sea, from the Euphrates River to the faraway places on earth.
