Psalm 72:5-7
Living Bible

5 May the poor and needy revere you constantly, as long as sun and moon continue in the skies! Yes, forever!

6 May the reign of this son of mine[a] be as gentle and fruitful as the springtime rains upon the grass—like showers that water the earth! 7 May all good men flourish in his reign with abundance of peace to the end of time.
