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[a] while (A)the sun endures,
    and as long as the moon, (B)throughout all generations!
May he be like (C)rain that falls on (D)the mown grass,
    like (E)showers that water the earth!
