72:1  A Psalm for Solomon. Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the king’s son.
72:2  He shall judge thy people with righteousness and thy poor with judgment.
72:3  The mountains shall bring peace to the people and the little hills by righteousness.
72:4  He shall judge the poor of the people; he shall save the children of the destitute and shall break in pieces the violent.
72:5  They shall fear thee along with the sun and before the moon throughout all generations.
72:6  He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass as the dew that waters the earth.
72:7  In his days shall righteousness flourish and abundance of peace until there is no longer any moon.
72:8  He shall have dominion also from sea to sea and from the river unto the ends of the earth.
72:9  Those that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him, and his enemies shall lick the dust.
72:10  The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents; the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
72:11  Yea, all kings shall fall down before him; all Gentiles shall serve him.
72:12  For he shall deliver the destitute when he cries and the poor that has no helper.
72:13  He shall have mercy on the poor and destitute and shall save the souls of the poor in spirit.
72:14  He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence, and precious shall their blood be in his sight.
72:15  And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba; prayer also shall be made for him continually; and daily he shall be given blessings.
72:16  There shall be planted a handful of grain in the earth upon the tops of the mountains; its fruit shall thunder like Lebanon; and out of the city they shall blossom like the grass of the earth.
72:17  His name shall endure for ever; before the sun his name shall be disseminated, and all Gentiles shall be blessed in him; they shall call him blessed.
72:18  Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, the only one who does wondrous things
72:19  And blessed be his glorious name for ever, and let the whole earth be filled with his glory; Amen, and Amen.
72:20  The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
