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.
Let his name live for ever
: and endure as long as the sun.
Let all peoples use his name in blessing
: and all nations call him blessed.
