Psalm 72:title–11

A Psalm of Solomon.

¹Give the king thy judgments, O God,

And thy righteousness unto the king’s son.

²He will judge thy people with righteousness,

And thy poor with justice.

³The mountains shall bring peace to the people,

And the hills, in righteousness.

⁴He will judge the poor of the people,

He will save the children of the needy,

And will break in pieces the oppressor.

⁵They shall fear thee while the sun endureth,

And so long as the moon, throughout all generations.

⁶He will come down like rain upon the mown grass,

As showers that water the earth.

⁷In his days shall the righteous flourish,

And abundance of peace, till the moon be no more.

⁸He shall have dominion also from sea to sea,

And from the River unto the ends of the earth.

⁹They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him;

And his enemies shall lick the dust.

¹⁰The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall render tribute:

The kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.

¹¹Yea, all kings shall fall down before him;

All nations shall serve him.
