| Chapter
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
little hills, by 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. |
|
5 | They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon
endure, 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 so long as the moon
endureth. |
| 8 | He shall have
dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the
earth. |
| 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; the poor also, and him that hath no helper. |
| 13 | He shall spare the poor and needy,
and shall save the souls of the needy. |
| 14 | He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence:
and precious shall their blood be in his sight. |
|
15 | And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the
gold of Sheba: prayer also shall be made for him continually; and daily shall
he be praised. |
| 16 | There
shall be an handful 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 blessed. |
| 18 | Blessed be the LORD God,
the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things. |
|
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. |
