Chapter 72

1


 

  {For Solomon.} O God, give the king thy judgments, and thy righteousness unto the king's son.  

 

 

-

2


 

  He will judge thy people with righteousness, and thine afflicted with judgment.  

 

 

-

3


 

  The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the hills, by righteousness.  

 

 

-

4


 

  He will do justice to the afflicted of the people; he will save the children of the needy, and will break in pieces the oppressor.  

 

 

-

5


 

  They shall fear thee as long as sun and moon endure, from generation to generation.  

 

 

-

6


 

  He shall come down like rain on 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


 

  And he shall have dominion from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.  

 

 

-

9


 

  The dwellers in the desert shall bow before him, and his enemies shall lick the dust.  

 

 

-

10


 

  The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall render presents; the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer tribute:  

 

 

-

11


 

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

 

 

-

12


 

  For he will deliver the needy who crieth, and the afflicted, who hath no helper;  

 

 

-

13


 

  He will have compassion on the poor and needy, and will save the souls of the needy:  

 

 

-

14


 

  He will redeem their souls from oppression and violence, and precious shall their blood be in his sight.  

 

 

-

15


 

  And he shall live; and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba; and prayer shall be made for him continually: all the day shall he be blessed.  

 

 

-

16


 

  There shall be abundance of corn in the earth, upon the top of the mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon; and they of the city shall bloom like the herb of the earth.  

 

 

-

17


 

  His name shall endure for ever; his name shall be continued as long as the sun: and [men] shall bless themselves in him; all nations shall call him blessed.  

 

 

-

18


 

  Blessed be Jehovah Elohim, the God of Israel, who alone 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.
