4 All the kings of the earth will give you thanks, Yahweh, For they have heard the words of your mouth.
So the nations will fear the name of Yahweh; All the kings of the earth your glory.
I will declare your name to my brothers. In the midst of the assembly, I will praise you.
Yes, all kings shall fall down before him. All nations shall serve him.
Then I will teach transgressors your ways. Sinners shall be converted to you.
Yes, even when I am old and gray-haired, God, don't forsake me, Until I have declared your strength to the next generation, Your might to everyone who is to come.
When the peoples are gathered together, The kingdoms, to serve Yahweh.
Kings shall be your nursing fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers: they shall bow down to you with their faces to the earth, and lick the dust of your feet; and you shall know that I am Yahweh; and those who wait for me shall not be disappointed.
Nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising. Lift up your eyes round about, and see: they all gather themselves together, they come to you; your sons shall come from far, and your daughters shall be carried in the arms. Then you shall see and be radiant, and your heart shall thrill and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you, the wealth of the nations shall come to you.
You shall also suck the milk of the nations, and shall suck the breast of kings; and you shall know that I, Yahweh, am your Savior, and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.
