# Chapter 72
|
||
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 will bring peace to the people,
|
||
And the little hills, by righteousness.
|
||
4 He will bring justice to 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
|
||
As long as the sun and moon endure,
|
||
Throughout all generations.
|
||
6 He shall come down like rain upon the grass before mowing,
|
||
Like showers that water the earth.
|
||
7 In His days the righteous shall flourish,
|
||
And abundance of peace,
|
||
Until the moon is no more.
|
||
8 He shall have dominion also from sea to sea,
|
||
And from the River to the ends of the earth.
|
||
9 Those who dwell in the wilderness will bow before Him,
|
||
And His enemies will lick the dust.
|
||
10 The kings of Tarshish and of the isles
|
||
Will bring presents;
|
||
The kings of Sheba and Seba
|
||
Will offer gifts.
|
||
11 Yes, all kings shall fall down before Him;
|
||
All nations shall serve Him.
|
||
12 For He will deliver the needy when he cries,
|
||
The poor also, and him who has no helper.
|
||
13 He will spare the poor and needy,
|
||
And will save the souls of the needy.
|
||
14 He will redeem their life from oppression and violence;
|
||
And precious shall be their blood in His sight.
|
||
15 And He shall live;
|
||
And the gold of Sheba will be given to Him;
|
||
Prayer also will be made for Him continually,
|
||
And daily He shall be praised.
|
||
16 There will be an abundance of grain in the earth,
|
||
On the top of the mountains;
|
||
Its fruit shall wave like Lebanon;
|
||
And those of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.
|
||
17 His name shall endure forever;
|
||
His name shall continue as long as the sun.
|
||
And men shall be blessed in Him;
|
||
All nations shall call Him blessed.
|
||
18 Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel,
|
||
Who only does wondrous things!
|
||
19 And blessed be His glorious name forever!
|
||
And let the whole earth be filled with His glory.
|
||
Amen and Amen.
|

20 The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended. |
