Psalm 72
Give the king your judgement, O God
: and your righteousness to the son of a king,
That he may judge your people rightly
: and the poor of the land with equity.
Let the mountains be laden with peace because of his righteousness
: and the hills also with prosperity for his people.
May he give justice to the poor among the people
: and rescue the children of the needy, and crush the oppressor.
May he live while the sun endures
: and while the moon gives light, throughout all generations.
May he come down like rain upon the new-mown fields
: and as showers that water the earth.
In his time shall righteousness flourish
: and abundance of peace, till the moon shall be no more.
The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring tribute
: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
All kings shall fall down before him
: and all nations do him service.
He will deliver the needy when they cry
: and the poor man that has no helper.
He will pity the helpless and the needy
: and save the lives of the poor.
He will redeem them from oppression and violence
: and their blood shall be precious in his sight.
