9. The desert tribes will bow down to him. His enemies will lick the dust.

10. The kings of Tarshish and of places far away will bring him gifts. The kings of Sheba and Seba will give him presents.

11. All kings will bow down to him. All nations will serve him.

12. People who are in need will cry out, and he will save them. He will save those who are hurting. They don't have anyone else who can help them.

13. He will take pity on those who are weak and in need. He will save them from death.

14. He will save them from people who beat others down. He will save them from people who do mean things to them. Their lives are very special to him.
