72:1 |
A Psalm of Solomon. Give the king thy justice, O God, and thy righteousness to the royal son!
|
72:2 |
May he judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with justice!
|
72:3 |
Let the mountains bear prosperity for the people, and the hills, in righteousness!
|
72:4 |
May he defend the cause of the poor of the people, give deliverance to the needy, and crush the oppressor!
|
72:5 |
May he live while the sun endures, and as long as the moon, throughout all generations!
|
72:6 |
May he be like rain that falls on the mown grass, like showers that water the earth!
|
72:7 |
In his days may righteousness flourish, and peace abound, till the moon be no more!
|
72:8 |
May he have dominion from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth!
|
72:9 |
May his foes bow down before him, and his enemies lick the dust!
|
72:10 |
May the kings of Tarshish and of the isles render him tribute, may the kings of Sheba and Seba bring gifts!
|
72:11 |
May all kings fall down before him, all nations serve him!
|
72:12 |
For he delivers the needy when he calls, the poor and him who has no helper.
|
72:13 |
He has pity on the weak and the needy, and saves the lives of the needy.
|
72:14 |
From oppression and violence he redeems their life;and precious is their blood in his sight.
|
72:15 |
Long may he live, may gold of Sheba be given to him! May prayer be made for him continually, and blessings invoked for him all the day!
|
72:16 |
May there be abundance of grain in the land;on the tops of the mountains may it wave;may its fruit be like Lebanon;and may men blossom forth from the cities like the grass of the field!
|
72:17 |
May his name endure for ever, his fame continue as long as the sun! May men bless themselves by him, all nations call him blessed!
|
72:18 |
Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who alone does wondrous things.
|
72:19 |
Blessed be his glorious name for ever;may his glory fill the whole earth! Amen and Amen!
|
72:20 |
The prayers of David, the son of Jesse, are ended.
