3 May the land enjoy prosperity;may it experience righteousness.
4 May the king judge the poor fairly;may he help the needyand defeat their oppressors.
5 May your people worship you as long as the sun shines,as long as the moon gives light, for ages to come.
6 May the king be like rain on the fields,like showers falling on the land.
7 May righteousness flourish in his lifetime,and may prosperity last as long as the moon gives light.
8 His kingdom will reach from sea to sea,from the Euphrates to the ends of the earth.
9 The peoples of the desert will bow down before him;his enemies will throw themselves to the ground.
