Psalm 72

¹Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the king’s son.
²He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment.
³The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness.
⁴He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor.
⁵They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations.
⁶He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers that water the earth.
⁷In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth.
⁸He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.
⁹They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; and his enemies shall lick the dust.
¹⁰The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
¹¹Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve him.
¹²For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper.
¹³He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy.
¹⁴He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood be in his sight.
¹⁵And 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.
¹⁶There 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.
¹⁷His 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.
¹⁸Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things.
¹⁹And blessed be his glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled with his glory; Amen, and Amen.
²⁰The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.

36Have mercy upon us, O Lord God of all, and behold us:
²And send thy fear upon all the nations that seek not after thee.
³Lift up thy hand against the strange nations, and let them see thy power.
⁴As thou wast sanctified in us before them: so be thou magnified among them before us.
⁵And let them know thee, as we have known thee, that there is no God but only thou, O God.
⁶Shew new signs, and make other strange wonders: glorify thy hand and thy right arm, that they may set forth thy wondrous works.
⁷Raise up indignation, and pour out wrath: take away the adversary, and destroy the enemy.
⁸Sake the time short, remember the covenant, and let them declare thy wonderful works.
⁹Let him that escapeth be consumed by the rage of the fire; and let them perish that oppress the people.
¹⁰Smite in sunder the heads of the rulers of the heathen, that say, There is none other but we.
¹¹Gather all the tribes of Jacob together, and inherit thou them, as from the beginning.
¹²O Lord, have mercy upon the people that is called by thy name, and upon Israel, whom thou hast named thy firstborn.
¹³O be merciful unto Jerusalem, thy holy city, the place of thy rest.
¹⁴Fill Sion with thine unspeakable oracles, and thy people with thy glory:
¹⁵Give testimony unto those that thou hast possessed from the beginning, and raise up prophets that have been in thy name.
¹⁶Reward them that wait for thee, and let thy prophets be found faithful.
¹⁷O Lord, hear the prayer of thy servants, according to the blessing of Aaron over thy people, that all they which dwell upon the earth may know that thou art the Lord, the eternal God.

¹³Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
¹⁴Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
¹⁵Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
¹⁶Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
¹⁷Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
¹⁸A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
¹⁹Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
²⁰Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
²¹Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
²²Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
²³And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
²⁴Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
²⁵And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
²⁶And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
²⁷And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
²⁸And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:
²⁹For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
