Chapter 72

1


 

  [A Psalm] of Solomon. Give the king thy judgments, O God, And thy righteousness unto the king's son.  

 

 

-

2


 

  He will judge thy people with righteousness, And thy poor with justice.  

 

 

-

3


 

  The mountains shall bring peace to the people, And the hills, in righteousness.  

 

 

-

4


 

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

 

 

-

5


 

  They shall fear thee while the sun endureth, And so long as the moon, throughout all generations.  

 

 

-

6


 

  He will come down like rain upon the mown grass, As showers that water the earth.  

 

 

-

7


 

  In his days shall the righteous flourish, And abundance of peace, till the moon be no more.  

 

 

-

8


 

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

 

 

-

9


 

  They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; And his enemies shall lick the dust.  

 

 

-

10


 

  The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall render tribute: The kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.  

 

 

-

11


 

  Yea, all kings shall fall down before him; All nations shall serve him.  

 

 

-

12


 

  For he will deliver the needy when he crieth, And the poor, that hath no helper.  

 

 

-

13


 

  He will have pity on the poor and needy, And the souls of the needy he will save.  

 

 

-

14


 

  He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence; And precious will their blood be in his sight:  

 

 

-

15


 

  And 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.  

 

 

-

16


 

  There 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.  

 

 

-

17


 

  His 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.  

 

 

-

18


 

  Blessed be Jehovah God, the God of Israel, Who only doeth wondrous things:  

 

 

-

19


 

  And blessed be his glorious name for ever; And let the whole earth be filled with his glory. Amen, and Amen.  

 

 

-

20


 

  The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
