PSALM 72

				1  Give the king Your judgments,
				   O God,
				   And Your righteousness to the
				   King's Son.
				2  He will judge Your people with
				   righteousness,
				   And Your poor with justice.
				3  The mountains will bring peace
				   to the people.
				   And the little hills, by
				   Righteousness.
				4  He will bring justice to the poor
				   of the people;
				   He will save the children of the
				   Needy,
				   And will break in pieces the
				   Oppressor.
				
				5  They shall fear You
				   As long as the sun and moon 
				   Endure,
				   Throughout all generations.
				6  He shall comedown like rain
				   upon the grass before
				   mowing,
				   Like showers that water the
				   Earth.
				7  In His days the righteous shall
				   flourish,
				   And abundance of peace,
				   Until the moon is no more.
				
				8  He shall have dominion also
				   from sea to sea,
				   And from the River to the ends
				   Of the earth.
				9  Those who dwell in the
				   wilderness will bow before
				   Him,
				   And His enemies will lick the
				   Dust.
				10 The kings of Tarshish and of the
				   isles
				   Will bring presents;
				   The kings of Sheba and Seba
				   Will offer gifts.
				11 Yes, all kings shall fall down 
				   before Him;
				   All nations shall serve Him.
				
				12 For He will deliver the needy
				   when he cries,
				   The poor also, and him who has
				   No helper.
				13 He will spare the poor and
				   needy,
				   And will save the souls of the
				   Needy 
				14 He will redeem their life from
				   oppression and violence;
				   And precious shall be their
				   Blood in His sight.
				
				15 And He shall live;
				   And the gold of Shebs will be
				   Given to Him;
				   Prayer also will be made for
				   Him continually,
				   And daily He shall be praised.
				
				16 There will be an abundance of 
				   grain in the earth,
				   On the top of the mountains;
				   Its fruit shall wave the 
				   Lebanon;
				   And those of the city shall
				   Flourish like grass of the
				   Earth.
				
				17 His name shall endure
				   forever;
				   His name shall continue as long
				   As the sun.
				   And men shall call Him
				   Blessed.
				18 Blessed be the LORD God, the
				   God of Israel,
				   Who only does wondrous
				   Things!
				19 And blessed be His glorious
				   name forever! 
				   And let the whole earth be filled
				   With His glory.
				   Amen and Amen.
				
				20 The prayers of David the son of 
				   Jesse are ended.
