Psalm 72:9

A Prayer For The King

⁸
May he also rule from sea to sea
And from the River [Euphrates] to the ends of the earth.
⁹ 
The nomads of the desert will bow before him,
And his enemies will lick the dust.
¹⁰
The kings of Tarshish and of the islands will bring offerings;
The kings of Sheba and Seba will offer gifts.

“Kings will be your attendants,
And their princesses your nurses.

For they shall not be put to shame who wait and hope expectantly for Me.

They shall lick the dust like a serpent;
Like crawling things of the earth
They shall come trembling out of their fortresses and hiding places.

And they shall be afraid and stand in awe before You [O Lord].
