In his days 1may the arighteous

, And babundance
of peace
till

May he also rule afrom sea

And from the River
to the ends

.
1Let athe nomads of the desert
bbow

click
the dust
.
1Let the kings of aTarshish
and of the 2 bislands
bring

For he will adeliver the needy
when he cries
for help
, The 1afflicted
also, and him who has

.
He will have acompassion
on the poor
and needy
, And the 1lives
of the needy
he will save
.
He will 1 arescue their 2life
from oppression
and violence
, And their blood

in his sight
;
So may he live, and may the agold
of Sheba
be given
to him; And let 1them pray
for him continually
; Let 1them bless

long.
May there be abundance of grain
in the earth
on top
of the mountains
; Its fruit
will wave
like the cedars of aLebanon
; And may those from the city
flourish
like bvegetation
of the earth
.
May his aname endure
forever
; May his name
1increase
2 bas long
as the sun
shines; And let men cbless
themselves by him; dLet all
nations
call
him blessed
.
aBlessed be the LORD
God
, the God
of Israel
, Who alone

wonders
.
And blessed be His aglorious
