Psalms 72
1 A Psalme of Salomon. Give thy iudgements to the King, O God, and thy righteousnesse to the Kings sonne.
`To Salomon.
2 Then shall he iudge thy people in righteousnesse, and thy poore with equitie.
God, yyue thi doom to the king; and thi riytfulnesse to the sone of a king. To deme thi puple in riytfulnesse; and thi pore men in doom.
3 The mountaines and the hilles shall bring peace to the people by iustice.
Mounteyns resseyue pees to the puple; and litle hillis resseyue riytfulnesse.
4 He shall iudge the poore of the people: he shall saue the children of the needie, and shall subdue the oppressor.
He schal deme the pore men of the puple, and he schal make saaf the sones of pore men; and he schal make low the false chalengere.
5 They shall feare thee as long as the sunne and moone endureth, from generatio to generation.
And he schal dwelle with the sunne, and bifore the moone; in generacioun and in to generacioun.
6 He shall come downe like the rayne vpon the mowen grasse, and as the showres that water the earth.
He schal come doun as reyn in to a flees; and as goteris droppinge on the erthe.
7 In his dayes shall the righteous florish, and abundance of peace shalbe so long as the moone endureth.
Riytfulnesse schal come forth in hise dayes, and the aboundaunce of pees; til the moone be takun awei.
8 His dominion shall be also from sea to sea, and from the Riuer vnto the endes of the land.
And he schal be lord fro the-see `til to the see; and fro the flood til to the endis of the world.
9 They that dwell in ye wildernes, shall kneele before him, and his enemies shall licke the dust.
Ethiopiens schulen falle doun bifore hym; and hise enemyes schulen licke the erthe.
10 The Kings of Tarshish and of the yles shall bring presents: the Kings of Sheba and Seba shall bring giftes.
The kyngis of Tarsis and ilis schulen offre yiftis; the kyngis of Arabie and of Saba schulen brynge yiftis.
11 Yea, all Kings shall worship him: all nations shall serue him.
And alle kyngis schulen worschipe hym; alle folkis schulen serue hym.
12 For he shall deliuer the poore when he cryeth: the needie also, and him that hath no helper.
For he schal delyuer a pore man fro the miyti; and a pore man to whom was noon helpere.
13 He shalbe mercifull to the poore and needie, and shall preserue the soules of the poore.
He schal spare a pore man and nedi; and he schal make saaf the soulis of pore men.
14 He shall redeeme their soules from deceite and violence, and deare shall their blood be in his sight.
He schal ayen bie the soulis of hem fro vsuris, and wickidnesse; and the name of hem is onourable bifor hym.
15 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.
And he schal lyue, and me schal yyue to hym of the gold of Arabie; and thei schulen euere worschipe of hym, al dai thei schulen blesse hym.
16 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.
Stidefastnesse schal be in the erthe, in the hiyeste places of mounteyns; the fruyt therof schal be enhaunsid aboue the Liban; and thei schulen blosme fro the citee, as the hey of erthe doith.
17 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.
His name be blessid in to worldis; his name dwelle bifore the sunne. And all the lynagis of erthe schulen be blessid in hym; alle folkis schulen magnyfie hym.
18 Blessed be the Lord God, euen the God of Israel, which onely doeth wonderous things.
Blessid be the Lord God of Israel; which aloone makith merueiylis.
19 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.
Blessid be the name of his maieste with outen ende; and al erthe schal be fillid with his maieste; be it doon, be it doon.
20 HERE END THE prayers of Dauid, the sonne of Ishai.
`The preieris of Dauid, the sone of Ysay, ben endid.
