Chapter 72

1


 

  By Solomon. O God, Thy judgments to the king give, And Thy righteousness to the king's son.  

 

 

--

2


 

  He judgeth Thy people with righteousness, And Thy poor with judgment.  

 

 

--

3


 

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

 

 

--

4


 

  He judgeth the poor of the people, Giveth deliverance to the sons of the needy, And bruiseth the oppressor.  

 

 

--

5


 

  They fear Thee with the sun, and before the moon, Generation -- generations.  

 

 

--

6


 

  He cometh down as rain on mown grass, As showers -- sprinkling the earth.  

 

 

--

7


 

  Flourish in his days doth the righteous, And abundance of peace till the moon is not.  

 

 

--

8


 

  And he ruleth from sea unto sea, And from the river unto the ends of earth.  

 

 

--

9


 

  Before him bow do the inhabitants of the dry places, And his enemies lick the dust.  

 

 

--

10


 

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

 

 

--

11


 

  And all kings do bow themselves to him, All nations do serve him,  

 

 

--

12


 

  For he delivereth the needy who crieth, And the poor when he hath no helper,  

 

 

--

13


 

  He hath pity on the poor and needy, And the souls of the needy he saveth,  

 

 

--

14


 

  From fraud and from violence he redeemeth their soul, And precious is their blood in his eyes.  

 

 

--

15


 

  And he liveth, and giveth to him of the gold of Sheba, And prayeth for him continually, All the day he doth bless him.  

 

 

--

16


 

  There is a handful of corn in the earth, On the top of mountains, Shake like Lebanon doth its fruit, And they flourish out of the city as the herb of the earth.  

 

 

--

17


 

  His name is to the age, Before the sun is his name continued, And they bless themselves in him, All nations do pronounce him happy.  

 

 

--

18


 

  Blessed is Jehovah God, God of Israel, He alone is doing wonders,  

 

 

--

19


 

  And blessed [is] the Name of His honour to the age, And the whole earth is filled [with] His honour. Amen, and amen!  

 

 

--

20


 

  The prayers of David son of Jesse have been ended.
