Psalms 72:8-14

8May he also rule 1from sea to sea And from the River to the ends of the earth.9 2Let 3the nomads of the desert 4bow before him, And his enemies 5lick the dust.10 6Let the kings of 7Tarshish and of the 8 9islands bring presents; The kings of 10Sheba and 11Seba 12offer 13gifts.11 14And let all 15kings bow down before him, All 16nations serve him.

12For he will 17deliver the needy when he cries for help, The 18afflicted also, and him who has no helper.13He will have 19compassion on the poor and needy, And the 20lives of the needy he will save.14He will 21 22rescue their 23life from oppression and violence, And their blood will be 24precious in his sight;
