³ May the mountains bring prosperity to the people,
    the hills the fruit of righteousness.
⁴ May he defend the afflicted^(c) among the people
    and save the children of the needy;^(d)
    may he crush the oppressor.^(e)
5 May he endure^[a](f) as long as the sun,
    as long as the moon, through all generations.^(g)
6 May he be like rain^(h) falling on a mown field,
    like showers watering the earth.
⁷ In his days may the righteous flourish⁽ⁱ⁾
    and prosperity abound till the moon is no more.

⁸ May he rule from sea to sea
    and from the River^[b](j) to the ends of the earth.^(k)
9 May the desert tribes bow before him
    and his enemies lick the dust.
¹⁰ May the kings of Tarshish^(l) and of distant shores^(m)
    bring tribute to him.
May the kings of Sheba⁽ⁿ⁾ and Seba
    present him gifts.^(o)
11 May all kings bow down^(p) to him
    and all nations serve^(q) him.

¹² For he will deliver the needy who cry out,
    the afflicted who have no one to help.
¹³ He will take pity^(r) on the weak and the needy
    and save the needy from death.
¹⁴ He will rescue^(s) them from oppression and violence,
    for precious^(t) is their blood in his sight.

¹⁵ Long may he live!
    May gold from Sheba^(u) be given him.
May people ever pray for him
    and bless him all day long.^(v)
16 May grain^(w) abound throughout the land;
    on the tops of the hills may it sway.
May the crops^(x) flourish like Lebanon^(y)
    and thrive^[c] like the grass of the field.^(z)
17 May his name endure forever;^(aa)
    may it continue as long as the sun.^(ab)

Then all nations will be blessed through him,^[d]
    and they will call him blessed.^(ac)
