Context of Psalms 72:7
5May they fear You while the sun shines, And as long as the moon shines, throughout all generations. 6May he come down like rain upon the mown grass, Like showers that water the earth. May the righteous flourish in his days, As well as an abundance of peace, until the moon is no more. 8May he also rule from sea to sea, And from the Euphrates River to the ends of the earth. 9May the nomads of the desert bow before him, And his enemies lick the dust.
