72:1  A Psalm of 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 hills, in 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 while the sun endureth, and so long as the moon, 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, till the moon be no more.
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; and the poor, that hath no helper.
72:13  He shall have pity on the poor and needy, and the souls of the needy he shall save.
72:14  He shall redeem their soul from oppression and violence; and precious shall their blood be in his sight:
72:15  And they shall live; and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: and men shall pray for him continually; they shall bless him all the day long.
72:16  There shall be abundance of corn in the earth upon the top of the mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake 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 happy.
72:18  Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only 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.
