3 Let there be peace and justice throughout the land, known on every mountain and hill.
4 May the king be fair to the poor. May he help the helpless and punish those who hurt them.
5 May people always fear and respect you, God, as long as the sun shines and the moon is in the sky.
6 Help the king be like rain falling on the fields, like showers falling on the land.
7 Let goodness grow everywhere while he is king. Let peace continue as long as there is a moon.
8 Let his kingdom grow from sea to sea, from the Euphrates River to the faraway places on earth.
9 May all the people living in the desert bow down to him. May all his enemies bow before him with their faces in the dirt.
