Psalms 72

MLV(i) 1 Give the king your judgments, O God and your righteousness to the king's son. 2 He will judge your people with righteousness and your poor with justice.
3 The mountains will bring peace to the people and the hills, in righteousness. 4 He will judge the poor of the people.
He will save the sons of the needy and will break in pieces the oppressor. 5 They will fear you while the sun endures and as long as the moon, throughout all generations.
6 He will come down like rain upon the mowed grass, as showers that water the earth. 7 In his days righteousness will flourish and abundance of peace, till the moon is no more.
8 He will also have dominion from sea to sea and from the River to the ends of the earth.
9 Those who dwell in the wilderness will bow before him and his enemies will lick the dust.
10 The kings of Tarshish and of the isles will render tribute. The kings of Sheba and Seba will offer gifts. 11 Yes, all kings will fall down before him. All nations will serve him.
12 Because he will deliver a needy man when he cries and a poor man, who has no helper. 13 He will have pity on a poor and needy man and he will save the souls of the needy.
14 He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence. And their blood will be precious in his sight, 15 and they will live. And to him will be given of the gold of Sheba. And men will pray for him continually. They will praise him all the day long.
16 There will be abundance of grain in the earth upon the top of the mountains. The fruit of it will shake like Lebanon. And they from the city will flourish like the grass of the earth.
17 His name will endure everlasting. His name will be continued as long as the sun. And men will call him fortunate. All nations will call him fortunate.
18 Praise Jehovah God, the God of Israel, who alone does wondrous things. 19 And praise his glorious name everlasting. And let the whole earth be filled with his glory. Truly and Truly.
20 The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
