Psalm 72
Literal Standard Version Par ▾ 
1BY SOLOMON. O God, give Your judgments to the king, "" And Your righteousness to the king’s Son.

2He judges Your people with righteousness, "" And Your poor with judgment.

3The mountains bear peace to the people, "" And the heights by righteousness.

4He judges the poor of the people, "" Gives deliverance to the sons of the needy, "" And bruises the oppressor.

5They fear You with the sun, and before the moon, "" Generation—generations.

6He comes down as rain on mown grass, "" As showers—sprinkling the earth.

7The righteous flourish in His days, "" And abundance of peace until the moon is not.

8And He rules from sea to sea, "" And from the river to the ends of the earth.

9Desert-dwellers bow before Him, "" And His enemies lick the dust.

10Kings of Tarshish and of the islands send back a present. Kings of Sheba and Seba bring a reward near.

11And all kings bow themselves to Him, "" All nations serve Him,

12For He delivers the needy who cries, "" And the poor when he has no helper,

13He has pity on the poor and needy, "" And He saves the souls of the needy,

14He redeems their soul from fraud and from violence, "" And their blood is precious in His eyes.

15And He lives, and the gold of Sheba [is] given to Him, "" And prayer is continually made for Him, "" All day He is continually blessed.

16There is a handful of grain in the earth, "" On the top of mountains, "" Its fruit shakes like Lebanon, "" And they flourish out of the city as the herb of the earth.

17His Name is for all time, "" Before the sun is His Name continued, "" And they bless themselves in Him, "" All nations pronounce Him blessed.

18Blessed is YHWH God, God of Israel, "" He alone is doing wonders,

19And blessed [is] the Name of His glory for all time, "" And the whole earth is filled [with] His glory. Amen and amen!

The prayers of David son of Jesse have been ended.
