Psal Noyes 72:1  To the king, O God! give thy justice, And to the son of a king thy righteousness!
Psal Noyes 72:2  Yea! he shall judge thy people with equity, And thine oppressed ones with justice.
Psal Noyes 72:3  For the mountains shall bring forth peace to the people, And the hills, through righteousness.
Psal Noyes 72:4  He shall defend the oppressed of the people; He shall save the needy, And break in pieces the oppressor.
Psal Noyes 72:5  They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon shall endure, From generation to generation.
Psal Noyes 72:6  He shall be like rain descending on the mown field,—Like showers which water the earth.
Psal Noyes 72:7  In his days shall the righteous flourish, And great shall be their prosperity, as long as the moon shall endure.

Psal Noyes 72:9  They that dwell in the desert shall bow before him, And his enemies shall lick the dust.
Psal Noyes 72:10  The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents; The kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts;

Psal Noyes 72:16  There shall be an abundance of corn in the land; Its fruit shall shake like Lebanon, even on the tops of the mountains; And they of the cities shall flourish as the grass of the earth.
Psal Noyes 72:17  His name shall endure for ever; His name shall be continued as long as the sun. By him shall men bless themselves; All nations shall call him blessed.

Psal Noyes 72:19  Praised be his glorious name for ever! May his glory fill the whole earth! Amen, Amen!
