Ps 72
0 Psalm 72
[A Psalm] of Solomon.
1
Give the king your judgments, O God, And your righteousness to the king`s son.
2
He will judge your people with righteousness, And your 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 you while the sun endures, 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 to 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 cries, And the poor, that has 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;
Its fruit 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 YHWH God, the God of Israel, Who only does wondrous things:
19
And blessed be his glorious name for ever; And let the whole earth be filled with
his glory. Amen, and Amen.

The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended. BOOK III
