3The mountains and the hills will produce rich crops,
because the people will do what is right.
4The king will stand up for those who are hurting.
He will save the children of those who are in need.
He will crush those who beat others down.
5He will rule as long as the sun shines
and the moon gives its light.
He will rule for all time to come.
6He will be like rain falling on the fields.
He will be like showers watering the earth.
7Godly people will do well as long as he rules.
They will have more than they need as long as the moon lasts.
8He will rule from ocean to ocean.
His kingdom will reach from the Euphrates River to the ends of the earth.

Let the mountains bear prosperity for the people,
and the hills, in righteousness!
May he defend the cause of the poor of the people,
give deliverance to the children of the needy,
and crush the oppressor!
May they fear you while the sun endures,
and as long as the moon, throughout all generations!
May he be like rain that falls on the mown grass,
like showers that water the earth!
In his days may the righteous flourish,
and peace abound, till the moon be no more!
May he have dominion from sea to sea,
and from the River to the ends of the earth!

May the mountains yield prosperity for all,
and may the hills be fruitful.
Help him to defend the poor,
to rescue the children of the needy,

and the hills in righteousness.
May he provide justice for the poor of the people,
save the children of the needy,
and crush the oppressor.
May he live long while the sun endures
as long as the moon for all generations.

and an abundance of peace, until the moon is no more.
And may he rule from sea up to sea,
and from the River to the edges of the land.

KJV 1900King James Version
The mountains shall bring peace to the people,
And the little hills, by righteousness.
He shall judge the poor of the people,
He shall save the children of the needy,
And shall break in pieces the oppressor.
They shall fear thee as long as the sun
And moon endure, throughout all generations.
He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass:
As showers that water the earth.
In his days shall the righteous flourish;
And abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth.
He shall have dominion also from sea to sea,
And from the river unto the ends of the earth.
