`They shall fear you while the / sun endures;
`and as long_ as the moon, throughout all / generations.
`He_ will come down like rain_ on the / mown~ grass,
as `showers that_ water / the~ earth.
`In his days_ may the / righteous flourish,
and `peace abound, until the moon_ / is no more.
`He shall have dominion from_ / sea to sea,
`from the River to the ends_ / of the earth.
`Those who dwell_ in the wilderness shall / bow before him.
His `enemies shall / lick the dust.
The `kings of Tarshish and_ of the islands / will bring tribute.
The `kings of Sheba and Seba shall / offer gifts.

the `poor, who / has no helper.
`He_ will have pity on the / poor and needy.
`He will save the needy / from~ death.
`He_ will redeem them from oppression and_ / violence.
Their `blood_ will be precious / in his sight.
`He will live; and Sheba’s gold_ will be / given to him.
`People will_ always / pray for him. • `They will bless him / all day long.
`May there be plenty of grain through / out the land.
`May its fruit_ sway like / Lebanon. • `Let it flourish, thriving like the grass_ / of the field.

His `name en / dures forever.
His `name continues as long / as the sun.

A `men and / a~ men.
