Psalms 72:1-14 MSG (The Message)

Give the gift of wise rule to the king, O God, the gift of just rule to the crown prince. May he judge your people rightly, be honorable to your meek and lowly. Let the mountains give exuberant witness; shape the hills with the contours of right living. Please stand up for the poor, help the children of the needy, come down hard on the cruel tyrants. Outlast the sun, outlive the moon— age after age after age. Be rainfall on cut grass, earth-refreshing rain showers. Let righteousness burst into blossom and peace abound until the moon fades to nothing. Rule from sea to sea, from the River to the Rim. Foes will fall on their knees before God, his enemies lick the dust. Kings remote and legendary will pay homage, kings rich and resplendent will turn over their wealth. All kings will fall down and worship, and godless nations sign up to serve him, Because he rescues the poor at the first sign of need, the destitute who have run out of luck. He opens a place in his heart for the down-and-out, he restores the wretched of the earth. He frees them from tyranny and torture— when they bleed, he bleeds; when they die, he dies.

Psalms 72:7-9 NASB2020 (New American Standard Bible - NASB)

May the righteous flourish in his days, As well as an abundance of peace, until the moon is no more. ¶May he also rule from sea to sea, And from the Euphrates River to the ends of the earth. May the nomads of the desert bow before him, And his enemies lick the dust.

Psalms 72:7-9 AMP (Amplified Bible)

In his days may the righteous flourish, And peace abound until the moon is no more. [Is 11:1-9] ¶May he also rule from sea to sea And from the River [Euphrates] to the ends of the earth. [Zech 14:9] The nomads of the desert will bow before him, And his enemies will lick the dust.

Psalms 72:7-9 NET (New English Translation)

During his days the godly will flourish; peace will prevail as long as the moon remains in the sky. May he rule from sea to sea, and from the Euphrates River to the ends of the earth! Before him the coastlands will bow down, and his enemies will lick the dust.
