O God, give Your judgments to the king, / And Your righteousness to the son of the king. |
| Psa. 72:2 |
He will judge Your people in righteousness, / And Your poor with justice. |
| Psa. 72:3 |
The mountains will bear peace to the people, / And the hills, in righteousness. |
| Psa. 72:4 |
He will judge the poor of the people; / He will save the children of the needy / And crush the oppressor. |
| Psa. 72:5 |
They will fear You as long as the sun endures / And as long as the moon endures / Throughout the generations. |
| Psa. 72:6 |
He will drop like rain upon mown grass, / Like abundant showers dripping on the earth. |
| Psa. 72:7 |
In His days the righteous will flourish, / And there will be an abundance of peace / Until the moon is no more. |
| Psa. 72:8 |
And He will have dominion from sea to sea / And from the River unto the ends of the earth. |
| Psa. 72:9 |
The desert dwellers will bow down before Him, / And His enemies will lick the dust. |
| Psa. 72:10 |
The kings of Tarshish and of the coastlands / Will pay tribute; / The kings of Sheba and Seba / Will present gifts. |
| Psa. 72:11 |
And all the kings will bow down before Him; / All the nations will serve Him. |
| Psa. 72:12 |
For He will deliver the needy man when he cries, / And the poor man who has no one to help him. |
| Psa. 72:13 |
He will have pity on the weak and needy, / And the souls of the needy He will save. |
| Psa. 72:14 |
From oppression and violence / He will redeem their soul, / And their blood will be precious in His sight. |
| Psa. 72:15 |
So He shall live and to Him shall be given / The gold of Sheba; / And prayer shall be made continually for Him; / He shall be blessed all the day long. |
| Psa. 72:16 |
There will be an abundance of grain on the earth, / [Even] at the tops of the mountains. / Its fruit will wave like [the forests of] Lebanon, / And those of the city will blossom like the foliage of the earth. |
| Psa. 72:17 |
His name will be forever; / As long as the sun endures, His name will spread; / And [men] will be blessed in Him; / All the nations will call Him blessed. |
| Psa. 72:18 |
Blessed be Jehovah God, the God of Israel, / Who alone does wondrous deeds; |
| Psa. 72:19 |
And blessed be His glorious name forever; / And may His glory fill the whole earth. / Amen and Amen. |

The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended. |
