Psalms Chapter[BR] 72

1 Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the king�s son.

2 He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment.

3 The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the hills, in righteousness.

4 He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor.

Psalms Chapter[BR] 72

5 They shall fear thee while the sun endureth, and so long as the moon, throughout all generations.

6 He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers that water the earth.

7 In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace, till the moon be no more.

8 He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the River unto the ends of the earth.

Psalms Chapter[BR] 72

9 They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; and his enemies shall lick the dust.

10 The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.

11 Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve him.

12 For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; and the poor, that hath no helper.

Psalms Chapter[BR] 72

13 He shall have pity on the poor and needy, and the souls of the needy he shall save.

14 He shall redeem their soul from oppression and violence; and precious shall their blood be in his sight:

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.

Psalms Chapter[BR] 72

16 There shall be abundance 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.

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.

18 Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things:

Psalms Chapter[BR] 72

19 And blessed be his glorious name for ever; and let the whole earth be filled with his glory. Amen, and Amen.

20 The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
