Psalm 72:4-6
Lexham English Bible

4 May he provide justice for the poor of the people,
save the children of the needy,
and crush the oppressor.
5 May he live long[a] while the sun endures[b]
as long as the moon[c] for all generations.[d]
6 May he descend like rain on mown grass,
like showers watering the earth.
