Psalm
Chapters 72
New International Version Anglicized
1Endow the king with your justice, O God,the royal son with your righteousness.
2May he judge your people in righteousness,your afflicted ones with justice.
3May the mountains bring prosperity to the people,the hills the fruit of righteousness.
4May he defend the afflicted among the peopleand save the children of the needy;may he crush the oppressor.
5May he endure as long as the sun,as long as the moon, through all generations.
6May he be like rain falling on a mown field,like showers watering the earth.
7In his days may the righteous flourishand prosperity abound till the moon is no more.
8May he rule from sea to seaand from the River to the ends of the earth.
9May the desert tribes bow before himand his enemies lick the dust.
10May the kings of Tarshish and of distant shoresbring tribute to him.May the kings of Sheba and Sebapresent him with gifts.
11May all kings bow down to himand all nations serve him.
12For he will deliver the needy who cry out,the afflicted who have no one to help.
13He will take pity on the weak and the needyand save the needy from death.
14He will rescue them from oppression and violence,for precious is their blood in his sight.
15Long may he live!May gold from Sheba be given to him.May people ever pray for himand bless him all day long.
16May corn abound throughout the land;on the tops of the hills may it sway.May the crops flourish like Lebanonand thrive like the grass of the field.
17May his name endure for ever;may it continue as long as the sun.Then all nations will be blessed through him,and they will call him blessed.
18Praise be to the Lord God, the God of Israel,who alone does marvellous deeds.
19Praise be to his glorious name for ever;may the whole earth be filled with his glory.Amen and Amen.
20This concludes the prayers of David son of Jesse.Psalms 73 – 89
