Psalms 72:1-10

Give the King Your Justice

Of aSolomon.

1 Give the king your bjustice, O God,
and your righteousness to the royal son!
 2May he cjudge your people with righteousness,
and your poor with justice!
 3Let the mountains bear dprosperity for the people,
and the hills, in righteousness!
 4May he defend the cause of the poor of the people,
give deliverance to the children of the needy,
and crush the oppressor!
 5 May they fear you ▼
▼Septuagint He shall endure
 while fthe sun endures,
and as long as the moon, gthroughout all generations!
 6May he be like hrain that falls on ithe mown grass,
like jshowers that water the earth!
 7In his days may kthe righteous flourish,
and lpeace abound, till the moon be no more!
 8 May he have dominion from msea to sea,
and from nthe River ▼
▼That is,  the Euphrates
 to the pends of the earth!
 9May desert tribes qbow down before him,
and his enemies rlick the dust!
 10May the kings of sTarshish and of tthe coastlands
render him utribute;
may the kings of vSheba and wSeba
bring gifts!
