A Psalm for Solomon. Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the king's son (psa 72:1)
He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment (psa 72:2)
The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness (psa 72:3)
He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor (psa 72:4)
They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations (psa 72:5)
He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers that water the earth (psa 72:6)
In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth (psa 72:7)
He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth (psa 72:8)
They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; and his enemies shall lick the dust (psa 72:9)
The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts (psa 72:10)
Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve him (psa 72:11)
For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper (psa 72:12)
He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy (psa 72:13)
He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood be in his sight (psa 72:14)
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 (psa 72:15)
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 (psa 72:16)
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 (psa 72:17)
