Psalm 72
- 1[[ A Psalm] of Solomon]. Give the king thy judgments, O God, And thy righteousness unto the king's son.
- 2He will judge thy people with righteousness, And thy poor with justice.
- 3The mountains shall bring peace to the people, And the hills, in righteousness.
- 4He will judge the poor of the people, He will save the children of the needy, And will break in pieces the oppressor.
- 5They shall fear thee while the sun endureth, And so long as the moon, throughout all generations.
- 6He will come down like rain upon the mown grass, As showers that water the earth.
- 7In his days shall the righteous flourish, And abundance of peace, till the moon be no more.
- 8He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, And from the River unto the ends of the earth.
- 9They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; And his enemies shall lick the dust.
- 10The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall render tribute: The kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
- 11Yea, all kings shall fall down before him; All nations shall serve him.
- 12For he will deliver the needy when he crieth, And the poor, that hath no helper.
- 13He will have pity on the poor and needy, And the souls of the needy he will save.
- 14He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence; And precious will their blood be in his sight:
- 15And they shall live; and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: And men shall pray for him continually; They shall bless him all the day long.
- 16There shall be abundance of grain in the earth upon the top of the mountains; The fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon: And they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.
- 17His name shall endure for ever; His name shall be continued as long as the sun: And men shall be blessed in him; All nations shall call him happy.
- 18Blessed be Jehovah God, the God of Israel, Who only doeth wondrous things:
- 19And blessed be his glorious name for ever; And let the whole earth be filled with his glory. Amen, and Amen.
- 20The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
