Chapter 72

1


 

  [A Psalm] for Solomon. Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the king's son.  

 

 


2


 

  He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment.  

 

 


3


 

  The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness.  

 

 


4


 

  He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor.  

 

 


5


 

  They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations.  

 

 


6


 

  He shall 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 so long as the moon endureth.  

 

 


8


 

  He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto 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 bring presents: 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 shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and [him] that hath no helper.  

 

 


13


 

  He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy.  

 

 


14


 

  He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood be in his sight.  

 

 


15


 

  And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: prayer also shall be made for him continually; [and] daily shall he be praised.  

 

 


16


 

  There shall be an handful of corn in the earth upon the top of the mountains; the fruit thereof 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 blessed.  

 

 


18


 

  Blessed [be] the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things.  

 

 


19


 

  And blessed [be] his glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled [with] his glory; Amen, and Amen.  

 

 


20


 

  The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
