Psalms 72:6
4 May he vindicate the afflicted among the people; may he save the children of the needy and crush the oppressor.
5 May they fear him as long as the sun shines, as long as the moon remains, through all generations.
May he be like rain that falls on freshly cut grass, like spring showers that water the earth.
7 May the righteous flourish in his days and prosperity abound, until the moon is no more.
8 May he rule from sea to sea, and from the Euphrates to the ends of the earth.
Dette ble sagt til Israel i en bestemt tid, så det er lurt å lese det sammen med teksten rundt. Les gjerne versene rundt også, for sammenhengen gir ofte mer enn ett vers alene.
