AB - Psalms - 72

72:1  O God, give Your judgment to the king, and Your righteousness to the king's son;

72:2  that he may judge Your people with righteousness, and Your poor with judgment.

72:3  Let the mountains and the hills raise peace to Your people.

72:4  He shall judge the poor of the people in righteousness, and save the children of the needy; and shall bring low the false accuser.

72:5  And He shall continue as long as the sun, and before the moon forever.

72:6  He shall come down as rain upon a fleece, and as drops falling upon the earth.

72:7  In His days shall righteousness spring up; and abundance of peace till the moon be removed.

72:8  And He shall have dominion from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth.

72:9  The Ethiopians shall fall down before Him, and His enemies shall lick the dust.

72:10  The kings of Tarshish, and the isles, shall bring presents: the kings of the Arabians and Sheba shall offer gifts.

72:11  And all kings shall worship Him; all the Gentiles shall serve Him.

72:12  For He has delivered the poor from the oppressor; and the needy who had no helper.

72:13  He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall deliver the souls of the needy.

72:14  He shall redeem their souls from oppression and injustice, and their name shall be precious before Him.

72:15  And He shall live, and the gold of Arabia shall be given to Him, and men shall pray for Him continually; and all the day shall they praise Him.

72:16  There shall be an establishment on the earth on the tops of the mountains; its fruit shall be exalted above Lebanon, and those of the city shall flourish as grass of the earth.

72:17  Let His name be blessed forever; His name shall endure longer than the sun, and all the tribes of the earth shall be blessed in Him: all nations shall call Him blessed.

72:18  Blessed is the Lord God of Israel, who alone does wonders.

72:19  And blessed is His glorious name forever, even forever and ever; and all the earth shall be filled with His glory. Amen, and Amen.

72:20  The hymns of David the son of Jesse are ended.
