4 The king will stand up for those who are hurting. He will save the children of those who are in need. He will crush those who beat others down.
5 He will rule as long as the sun shines and the moon gives its light. He will rule for all time to come.
6 He will be like rain falling on the fields. He will be like showers watering the earth.
7 Godly people will do well as long as he rules. They will have more than they need as long as the moon lasts.
8 He will rule from ocean to ocean. His kingdom will reach from the Euphrates River to the ends of the earth.
9 The desert tribes will bow down to him. His enemies will lick the dust.
10 The kings of Tarshish and of places far away will bring him gifts. The kings of Sheba and Seba will give him presents.
