Psalms Chapter 72
|
|||
|
|
1 By Solomon. God, give the king your justice; your righteousness to the royal son.
|
|||
|
|
2 He will judge your people with righteousness, and your poor with justice.
|
|||
|
|
3 The mountains shall bring prosperity to the people. The hills bring the fruit of righteousness.
|
|||
|
|
4 He will judge the poor of the people. He will save the children of the needy, and will break the oppressor in pieces.
|
|||
|
|
5 They shall fear you while the sun endures; and as long as the moon, throughout all generations.
|
|||
|
|
6 He will come down like rain on the mown grass, as 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, from the River to the ends of the earth.
|
|||
|
|
9 Those who dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him. His enemies shall lick the dust.
|
|||
|
|
10 The kings of Tarshish and of the islands will bring tribute. The kings of Sheba and Seba shall 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, who has no helper.
|
|||
|
|
13 He will have pity on the poor and needy. He will save the souls of the needy.
|
|||
|
|
14 He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence. Their blood will be precious in his sight.
|
|||
|
|
15 He will live; and Sheba’s gold will be given to him. Men will pray for him continually. They will bless him all day long.
|
|||
|
|
16 Abundance of grain shall be throughout the land. Its fruit sways like Lebanon. Let it flourish, thriving like the grass of the field.
|
|||
|
|
17 His name endures forever. His name continues as long as the sun. Men shall be blessed by him. All nations will call him blessed.
|
|||
|
|
18 Praise be to Yahweh God, the God of Israel, who alone does marvelous deeds.
|
|||
|
|
19 Blessed be his glorious name forever! Let the whole earth be filled with his glory! Amen and amen.
|
|||
|
|
20 This ends the prayers by David, the son of Jesse.
