72:1 Give the king thy judgments, O God, And thy righteousness unto the king's son.

72:2 He will judge thy people with righteousness, And thy poor with justice.

72:3 The mountains shall bring peace to the people, And the hills, in righteousness.

72:4 He will judge the poor of the people, He will save the children of the needy, And will 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 will 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 render tribute: 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 will deliver the needy when he crieth, And the poor, that hath no helper.

72:13 He will have pity on the poor and needy, And the souls of the needy he will save.

72:14 He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence; And precious will 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 grain 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 Jehovah 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. Psalm 73 A Psalm of Asaph.
