^5 [h]May they fear You ^(G)while the sun shines,
And ^[i]as long as the moon shines, throughout all generations.
^6 [j]May he come down ^(H)like rain upon the mown grass,
Like ^(I)showers that water the earth.
^7 [k]May the ^(J)righteous flourish in his days,
As well as an ^(K)abundance of peace, until the moon is no more.

⁸ May he also rule ^(L)from sea to sea,
And from the Euphrates River to the ends of the earth.
^9 [l]May ^(M)the nomads of the desert ^(N)bow before him,
And his enemies ^(O)lick the dust.
^10 [m]May the kings of ^(P)Tarshish and of the ^[n](Q)islands bring gifts;
May the kings of ^(R)Sheba and ^(S)Seba ^(T)offer tributes.
^11 [o]And may all ^(U)kings bow down before him,
All ^(V)nations serve him.

¹² For he will ^(W)save the needy when he cries for help,
The ^[p]afflicted also, and him who has no helper.
¹³ He will have ^(X)compassion on the poor and needy,
And he will save the ^[q]lives of the needy.
¹⁴ He will ^[r](Y)rescue their ^[s]life from oppression and violence,
And their blood will be ^(Z)precious in his sight;
¹⁵ So may he live, and may the ^(AA)gold of Sheba be given to him;
And ^[t]they are to pray for him continually;
^[u]They are to bless him all day long.

¹⁶ May there be abundance of grain on the earth on top of the mountains;
Its fruit will wave like the cedars of ^(AB)Lebanon;
And may those from the city flourish like the ^(AC)vegetation of the earth.
¹⁷ May his ^(AD)name endure forever;
May his name produce descendants ^[v](AE)as long as the sun shines;
And may people ^(AF)wish blessings on themselves by him;
^(AG)May all nations call him blessed.

^18 (AH)Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel,
Who alone ^(AI)works wonders.
¹⁹ And blessed be His ^(AJ)glorious name forever;
And may the whole ^(AK)earth be filled with His glory.
^(AL)Amen and Amen.
