Psalms 72
1 A psalm on Solomon.
A Psalme of Salomon. Give thy iudgements to the King, O God, and thy righteousnesse to the Kings sonne.
2 Give to the king thy judgment, O God: and to the king’s son thy justice: To judge thy people with justice, and thy poor with judgment.
Then shall he iudge thy people in righteousnesse, and thy poore with equitie.
3 Let the mountains receive peace for the people: and the hills justice.
The mountaines and the hilles shall bring peace to the people by iustice.
4 He shall judge the poor of the people, and he shall save the children of the poor: and he shall humble the oppressor.
He shall iudge the poore of the people: he shall saue the children of the needie, and shall subdue the oppressor.
5 And he shall continue with the sun, and before the moon, throughout all generations.
They shall feare thee as long as the sunne and moone endureth, from generatio to generation.
6 He shall come down like rain upon the fleece; and as showers falling gently upon the earth.
He shall come downe like the rayne vpon the mowen grasse, and as the showres that water the earth.
7 In his days shall justice spring up, and abundance of peace, till the moon be taken sway.
In his dayes shall the righteous florish, and abundance of peace shalbe so long as the moone endureth.
8 And he shall rule from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.
His dominion shall be also from sea to sea, and from the Riuer vnto the endes of the land.
9 Before him the Ethiopians shall fall down: and his enemies shall lick the ground.
They that dwell in ye wildernes, shall kneele before him, and his enemies shall licke the dust.
10 The kings of Tharsis and the islands shall offer presents: the kings of the Arabians and of Saba shall bring gifts:
The Kings of Tarshish and of the yles shall bring presents: the Kings of Sheba and Seba shall bring giftes.
11 And all kings of the earth shall adore him: all nations shall serve him.
Yea, all Kings shall worship him: all nations shall serue him.
12 For he shall deliver the poor from the mighty: and the needy that had no helper.
For he shall deliuer the poore when he cryeth: the needie also, and him that hath no helper.
13 He shall spare the poor and needy: and he shall save the souls of the poor.
He shalbe mercifull to the poore and needie, and shall preserue the soules of the poore.
14 He shall redeem their souls from usuries and iniquity: and their names shall be honourable in his sight.
He shall redeeme their soules from deceite and violence, and deare shall their blood be in his sight.
15 And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Arabia, for him they shall always adore: they shall bless him all the day.
Yea, he shall liue, and vnto him shall they giue of the golde of Sheba: they shall also pray for him continually, and dayly blesse him.
16 And there shall be a firmament on the earth on the tops of mountains, above Libanus shall the fruit thereof be exalted: and they of the city shall flourish like the grass of the earth.
An handfull of corne shall be sowen in the earth, euen in the toppe of the mountaines, and the fruite thereof shall shake like the trees of Lebanon: and the children shall florish out of the citie like the grasse of the earth.
17 Let his name be blessed for evermore: his name continueth before the sun. And in him shall all the tribes of the earth be blessed: all nations shall magnify him.
His name shall be for euer: his name shall indure as long as the sunne: all nations shall blesse him, and be blessed in him.
18 Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, who alone doth wonderful things.
Blessed be the Lord God, euen the God of Israel, which onely doeth wonderous things.
19 And blessed be the name of his majesty for ever: and the whole earth shall be filled with his majesty. So be it. So be it.
And blessed be his glorious Name for euer: and let all the earth be filled with his glorie. So be it, euen so be it.
20 The praises of David, the son of Jesse, are ended.
HERE END THE prayers of Dauid, the sonne of Ishai.
