While he rules as king,
    those people who serve God will do well.
There will be peace in all the land,
    for as long as the moon remains in the sky.

May the king rule everywhere,
    from sea to sea,
    and from the Euphrates river to the ends of the earth.[a]
Then people who live in the desert
    will bend down to respect him.
His enemies will fall down
    with their faces in the dust.
