The mountains shall declare peace to the people And the hills announce righteousness. They shall fear thee, as long as the sun and moon endure, Throughout all generations. He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass, As showers that water the earth. In his days shall the righteous flourish, And abundance of peace, so long as the moon endureth. He shall have dominion from sea to sea, From the river to the ends of the earth, They that dwell in the desert shall bow before him, And his enemies shall lick the dust. The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents, The kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts. All kings shall fall down before him, All nations shall serve him— A handful of corn, scattered in the earth on the top of the mountains Shall wave its fruit like the trees of Lebanon. And the peopled cities shall flourish like grass of the earth. His name shall endure for ever; His name shall be continued as long as the sun. Men shall be blessed in him; All nations shall call him blessed!—Psl. lxxii. CHAPTER VI. THE HALT AT RHINOCORURA. They arrived in safety, and at an early hour, at Rhinocorura, and encamped where a copious stream from the mountains had produced verdure and fertility upon its banks. Elisama, who from his advanced age was easily exhausted by any unusual excitement, was compelled to lie down to rest immediately on his arrival, and it was not till after the meal that he was able to resume his narrative.
