Psalm 72

1 A Psalm4210 for Solomon.8010 Give5414 the king4428 your judgments,4941 O God,430 and your righteousness6666 to the king's4428 son.1121

2 He shall judge1777 your people5971 with righteousness,6664 and your poor6041 with judgment.4941

3 The mountains2022 shall bring5375 peace7965 to the people,5971 and the little hills,1389 by righteousness.6666

4 He shall judge8199 the poor6041 of the people,5971 he shall save3467 the children1121 of the needy,34 and shall break1792 in pieces the oppressor.6231

5 They shall fear3372 you as long5973 as the sun8121 and moon3394 endure,6440 throughout all generations.1755

6 He shall come3381 down3381 like rain4306 on the mown1488 grass: as showers7241 that water2222 the earth.776

7 In his days3117 shall the righteous6662 flourish;6524 and abundance7230 of peace7965 so5704 long5704 as the moon3394 endures.1097

8 He shall have dominion7287 also from sea3220 to sea,3220 and from the river5104 to the ends657 of the earth.776

9 They that dwell in the wilderness6728 shall bow3766 before6440 him; and his enemies341 shall lick3897 the dust.6083

10 The kings4428 of Tarshish8659 and of the isles339 shall bring7725 presents:4503 the kings4428 of Sheba7614 and Seba5434 shall offer7126 gifts.814

11 Yes, all3605 kings4428 shall fall7812 down7812 before him: all3605 nations1471 shall serve5647 him.

12 For he shall deliver5337 the needy34 when he cries;7768 the poor6041 also, and him that has no369 helper.5826

13 He shall spare2347 the poor1800 and needy,34 and shall save3467 the souls5315 of the needy.34

14 He shall redeem1350 their soul5315 from deceit8496 and violence:2555 and precious3365 shall their blood1818 be in his sight.5869

15 And he shall live,2421 and to him shall be given5414 of the gold2091 of Sheba:7614 prayer6419 also shall be made for him continually;8548 and daily3605 3117 shall he be praised.1288

16 There shall be an handful6451 of corn1250 in the earth776 on the top7218 of the mountains;2022 the fruit6529 thereof shall shake7493 like Lebanon:3844 and they of the city5892 shall flourish6692 like grass6212 of the earth.776

17 His name8034 shall endure1961 for ever:5769 his name8034 shall be continued5125 as long6440 as the sun:8121 and men shall be blessed1288 in him: all3605 nations1471 shall call833 him blessed.833

18 Blessed1288 be the LORD3068 God,430 the God430 of Israel,3478 who only905 does6213 wondrous6381 things.

19 And blessed1288 be his glorious3519 name8034 for ever:5769 and let the whole854 3605 earth776 be filled4390 with his glory;3519 Amen,543 and Amen.543

20 The prayers8605 of David1732 the son1121 of Jesse3448 are ended.3615
