Psalms 72
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 . 12For he will deliver the needy when he crieth , And the poor , that hath no helper . 13He will have pity on the poor and needy , And the souls of the needy he will save . 14He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence ; And precious will their blood be in his sight : 15And they shall live ; and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba : And men shall pray for him continually ; They shall bless him all the day long . 16There shall be abundance of grain 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. 17His 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 happy. 18Blessed be Jehovah God , the God of Israel , Who only doeth wondrous things : 19And blessed be his glorious name for ever ; And let the whole earth be filled with his glory . Amen, and Amen.
