King James Version: Psalms 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.
