Psalms 72
1 Of Solomon. Endow the king with Your justice, O God, and the son of the king with Your righteousness.
| לִשְׁלֹמֹה ׀ אֱֽלֹהִים מִשְׁפָּטֶיךָ לְמֶלֶךְ תֵּן וְצִדְקָתְךָ לְבֶן־מֶֽלֶךְ׃ |
2 May he judge Your people with righteousness and Your afflicted with justice.
| יָדִין עַמְּךָ בְצֶדֶק וַעֲנִיֶּיךָ בְמִשְׁפָּֽט׃ |
3 May the mountains bring peace to the people, and the hills bring righteousness.
| יִשְׂאוּ הָרִים שָׁלוֹם לָעָם וּגְבָעוֹת בִּצְדָקָֽה׃ |
4 May he vindicate the afflicted among the people; may he save the children of the needy and crush the oppressor.
| יִשְׁפֹּט ׀ עֲֽנִיֵּי־עָם יוֹשִׁיעַ לִבְנֵי אֶבְיוֹן וִידַכֵּא עוֹשֵֽׁק׃ |
5 May they fear him as long as the sun shines, as long as the moon remains, through all generations.
| יִירָאוּךָ עִם־שָׁמֶשׁ וְלִפְנֵי יָרֵחַ דּוֹר דּוֹרִֽים׃ |
6 May he be like rain that falls on freshly cut grass, like spring showers that water the earth.
| יֵרֵד כְּמָטָר עַל־גֵּז כִּרְבִיבִים זַרְזִיף אָֽרֶץ׃ |
7 May the righteous flourish in his days and prosperity abound, until the moon is no more.
| יִֽפְרַח־בְּיָמָיו צַדִּיק וְרֹב שָׁלוֹם עַד־בְּלִי יָרֵֽחַ׃ |
8 May he rule from sea to sea, and from the Euphrates to the ends of the earth.
| וְיֵרְדְּ מִיָּם עַד־יָם וּמִנָּהָר עַד־אַפְסֵי־אָֽרֶץ׃ |
9 May the nomads bow before him, and his enemies lick the dust.
| לְפָנָיו יִכְרְעוּ צִיִּים וְאֹיְבָיו עָפָר יְלַחֵֽכוּ׃ |
10 May the kings of Tarshish and distant shores bring tribute; may the kings of Sheba and Seba offer gifts.
| מַלְכֵי תַרְשִׁישׁ וְאִיִּים מִנְחָה יָשִׁיבוּ מַלְכֵי שְׁבָא וּסְבָא אֶשְׁכָּר יַקְרִֽיבוּ׃ |
11 May all kings bow down to him and all nations serve him.
| וְיִשְׁתַּחֲווּ־לוֹ כׇל־מְלָכִים כׇּל־גּוֹיִם יַעַבְדֽוּהוּ׃ |
12 For he will deliver the needy who cry out and the afflicted who have no helper.
| כִּֽי־יַצִּיל אֶבְיוֹן מְשַׁוֵּעַ וְעָנִי וְֽאֵין־עֹזֵר לֽוֹ׃ |
13 He will take pity on the poor and needy and save the lives of the oppressed.
| יָחֹס עַל־דַּל וְאֶבְיוֹן וְנַפְשׁוֹת אֶבְיוֹנִים יוֹשִֽׁיעַ׃ |
14 He will redeem them from oppression and violence, for their blood is precious in his sight.
| מִתּוֹךְ וּמֵחָמָס יִגְאַל נַפְשָׁם וְיֵיקַר דָּמָם בְּעֵינָֽיו׃ |
15 Long may he live! May gold from Sheba be given him. May people ever pray for him; may they bless him all day long.
| וִיחִי וְיִתֶּן־לוֹ מִזְּהַב שְׁבָא וְיִתְפַּלֵּל בַּעֲדוֹ תָמִיד כׇּל־הַיּוֹם יְבָרְכֶֽנְהוּ׃ |
16 May there be an abundance of grain in the land; may it sway atop the hills. May its fruit trees flourish like the forests of Lebanon, and its people like the grass of the field.
| יְהִי פִסַּת־בַּר ׀ בָּאָרֶץ בְּרֹאשׁ הָרִים יִרְעַשׁ כַּלְּבָנוֹן פִּרְיוֹ וְיָצִיצוּ מֵעִיר כְּעֵשֶׂב הָאָֽרֶץ׃ |
17 May his name endure forever; may his name continue as long as the sun shines. In him may all nations be blessed; may they call him blessed.
| יְהִי שְׁמוֹ ׀ לְֽעוֹלָם לִפְנֵי־שֶׁמֶשׁ (ינין) [יִנּוֹן] שְׁמוֹ וְיִתְבָּרְכוּ בוֹ כׇּל־גּוֹיִם יְאַשְּׁרֽוּהוּ׃ |
18 Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who alone does marvelous deeds.
| בָּרוּךְ ׀ יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהִים אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל עֹשֵׂה נִפְלָאוֹת לְבַדּֽוֹ׃ |
19 And blessed be His glorious name forever; may all the earth be filled with His glory. Amen and amen.
| וּבָרוּךְ ׀ שֵׁם כְּבוֹדוֹ לְעוֹלָם וְיִמָּלֵא כְבוֹדוֹ אֶת־כֹּל הָאָרֶץ אָמֵן ׀ וְאָמֵֽן׃ |
20 Thus conclude the prayers of David son of Jesse.
| כָּלּוּ תְפִלּוֹת דָּוִד בֶּן־יִשָֽׁי׃ |
