Psalms

72:1		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 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 of the gold of Sheba: prayer also shall be made for him continually; and daily shall he be praised.
72:16		There shall be an handful 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 blessed.
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.
