72:1  Give the king Thy judgments, O God, and Thy righteousness unto the king’s son.
72:2  Then shall he 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 needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor.
72:5  They shall fear Thee as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations.
72:6  He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass, as showers that water the earth.
72:7  In his days shall the righteous flourish, and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth.
72:8  He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.
72:9  They 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 nations shall serve him.
72:12  For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also and him that hath no helper.
72:13  He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy.
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 from the gold of Sheba; prayer also shall be made for him continually, and daily shall he be praised.
72:16  There shall be corn by the handful in the earth upon the top of the mountains; the fruit thereof shall wave like Lebanon, and they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.
72:17  His name shall endure for ever, his name shall be continued as long as the sun, and men shall be blessed in him; all nations shall call him blessed.
72:18  Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, who alone doeth 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.
