Psa.|72:Title|-||a|Of Solomon
Psa.|72:1|-|O God, give Your judgments to the |1|king,And Your righteousness to the son of the king.
Psa.|72:2|-|He will judge Your people in |1a|righteousness,And Your poor with |1|justice.
Psa.|72:3|-|The mountains will bear |a|peace to the people,And the hills, in righteousness.
Psa.|72:4|-|He will judge the poor of the people;He will save the children of the needy
And crush the oppressor.
Psa.|72:5|-|They will fear You as long as the sun enduresAnd as long as the moon endures
Throughout the generations.
Psa.|72:6|-|He will |1|drop like rain upon mown grass,Like abundant |a|showers dripping on the earth.
Psa.|72:7|-|In His days the righteous will flourish,And there will be an abundance of peace
Until the |a|moon is no more.
Psa.|72:8|-|And He will have |a|dominion from sea to seaAnd from the |1b|River unto the ends of the earth.
Psa.|72:9|-|The desert dwellers will bow down before Him,And His enemies will lick the dust.
Psa.|72:10|-|The kings of Tarshish and of the |1|coastlandsWill pay tribute;
The kings of Sheba and SebaWill present |a|gifts.
Psa.|72:11|-|And all the |a|kings will bow down before Him;All the nations will serve Him.
Psa.|72:12|-|For He will deliver the needy man when he cries,And the poor man who has no one to help him.
Psa.|72:13|-|He will have pity on the weak and needy,And the souls of the needy He will save.
Psa.|72:14|-|From oppression and violenceHe will redeem their soul,
And their blood will be |a|precious in His sight.
Psa.|72:15|-|So He shall live and to Him shall be givenThe |a|gold of Sheba;
And prayer shall be made continually for Him;He shall be blessed all the day long.
Psa.|72:16|-|There will be an abundance of grain on the earth,Even at the tops of the mountains.
Its fruit will wave like the forests of Lebanon,And those of the city will blossom like the foliage of the earth.
Psa.|72:17|-|His name will be forever;As long as the sun endures, His name will spread;
And men will be |a|blessed in Him;All the nations will call Him |b|blessed.
Psa.|72:18|-||1a|Blessed be Jehovah God, the God of Israel,Who alone does wondrous deeds;
Psa.|72:19|-|And blessed be His glorious name forever;And may His |a|glory fill the whole earth.
|b|Amen and Amen.
Psa.|72:20|-|The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
