3 The mountains will bring prosperity to the people,
the hills the fruit of righteousness. |
4 He will defend the afflicted among the people
and save the children of the needy;
he will crush the oppressor. |
5 He will endure2 72:5 Septuagint; Hebrew You will be feared as long as the sun,
as long as the moon, through all generations. |
6 He will be like rain falling on a mown field,
like showers watering the earth. |
7 In his days the righteous will flourish;
prosperity will abound till the moon is no more. |
8 He will rule from sea to sea and from the River3 72:8 That is, the Euphrates to the ends of the earth.4 72:8 Or the end of the land |
9 The desert tribes will bow before him
and his enemies will lick the dust. |
