Psalm 72:title–20

A Psalm Of Solomon.

¹Give the king Your judgments, O God,

And Your righteousness to the king’s Son.

^2bHe will judge Your people with righteousness,

And Your poor with justice.

^3cThe mountains will bring peace to the people,

And the little hills, by righteousness.

^4dHe will bring justice to the poor of the people;

He will save the children of the needy,

And will ¹break in pieces the oppressor.

⁵²They shall fear You

^eAs long as the sun and moon endure,

Throughout all generations.

^6fHe shall come down like rain upon the grass before mowing,

Like showers that water the earth.

⁷In His days the righteous shall flourish,

^gAnd abundance of peace,

Until the moon is no more.

^8hHe shall have dominion also from sea to sea,

And from the River to the ends of the earth.

⁹ⁱThose who dwell in the wilderness will bow before Him,

^jAnd His enemies will lick the dust.

^10kThe kings of Tarshish and of the isles

Will bring presents;

The kings of Sheba and Seba

Will offer gifts.

^11lYes, all kings shall fall down before Him;

All nations shall serve Him.

¹²For He ^mwill deliver the needy when he cries,

The poor also, and him who has no helper.

¹³He will spare the poor and needy,

And will save the souls of the needy.

¹⁴He will redeem their life from oppression and violence;

And ⁿprecious shall be their blood in His sight.

¹⁵And He shall live;

And the gold of ^oSheba will be given to Him;

Prayer also will be made for Him continually,

And daily He shall be praised.

¹⁶There will be an abundance of grain in the earth,

On the top of the mountains;

Its fruit shall wave like Lebanon;

^pAnd those of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.

^17qHis name shall endure forever;

His name shall continue as long as the sun.

And ^rmen shall be blessed in Him;

^sAll nations shall call Him blessed.

^18tBlessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel,

^uWho only does wondrous things!

¹⁹And ^vblessed be His glorious name forever!

^wAnd let the whole earth be filled with His glory.

Amen and Amen.

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