⁴ He will judge the poor of the people. He will save the children of the needy, and will break the oppressor in pieces.

⁵ They shall fear you while the sun endures; and as long as the moon, throughout all generations.

⁶ He will come down like rain on the mown grass, as showers that water the earth.

⁷ In his days, the righteous shall flourish, and abundance of peace, until the moon is no more.

⁸ He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, from the River to the ends of the earth.

⁹ Those who dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him. His enemies shall lick the dust.

¹⁰ The kings of Tarshish and of the islands will bring tribute. The kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.

¹¹ Yes, all kings shall fall down before him. All nations shall serve him.

⁴ by which, when you read, you can perceive my understanding in the mystery of Christ,

⁵ which in other generations was not made known to the children of men, as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit,

⁶ that the Gentiles are fellow heirs and fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of his promise in Christ Jesus through the Good News,

⁷ of which I was made a servant according to the gift of that grace of God which was given me according to the working of his power.

⁸ To me, the very least of all saints, was this grace given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,

⁹ and to make all men see what is the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God, who created all things through Jesus Christ,

¹⁰ to the intent that now through the assembly the manifold wisdom of God might be made known to the principalities and the powers in the heavenly places,

¹¹ according to the eternal purpose which he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord.

¹² In him we have boldness and access in confidence through our faith in him.
