Psalms 72
1 “By Solomon.” O God, give unto the king thy decisions, and thy righteousness unto the king's son.
| לִשְׁלֹמֹ֨ה ׀ אֱֽלֹהִ֗ים מִ֭שְׁפָּטֶיךָ לְמֶ֣לֶךְ תֵּ֑ן וְצִדְקָתְךָ֥ לְבֶן־מֶֽלֶךְ׃ |
2 He shall decide for thy people with righteousness, and for thy afflicted with justice.
| יָדִ֣ין עַמְּךָ֣ בְצֶ֑דֶק וַעֲנִיֶּ֥יךָ בְמִשְׁפָּֽט׃ |
3 The mountains shall bear peace for the people, and the hills [the same], through righteousness.
| יִשְׂא֤וּ הָרִ֓ים שָׁ֘לֹ֥ום לָעָ֑ם וּ֝גְבָעֹ֗ות בִּצְדָקָֽה׃ |
4 He shall judge the afflicted of the people, he shall give help to the children of the needy; but he shall crush the oppressor.
| יִשְׁפֹּ֤ט ׀ עֲֽנִיֵּי־עָ֗ם יֹ֭ושִׁיעַ לִבְנֵ֣י אֶבְיֹ֑ון וִֽידַכֵּ֣א עֹושֵֽׁק׃ |
5 They shall fear thee as long as the sun shineth, and in the presence of the moon, throughout all generations.
| יִֽירָא֥וּךָ עִם־שָׁ֑מֶשׁ וְלִפְנֵ֥י יָ֝רֵ֗חַ דֹּ֣ור דֹּורִֽים׃ |
6 He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass, as showers which are dropping on the earth.
| יֵ֭רֵד כְּמָטָ֣ר עַל־גֵּ֑ז כִּ֝רְבִיבִ֗ים זַרְזִ֥יף אָֽרֶץ׃ |
7 In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace [shall be] till the moon shall be no more.
| יִֽפְרַח־בְּיָמָ֥יו צַדִּ֑יק וְרֹ֥ב שָׁ֝לֹ֗ום עַד־בְּלִ֥י יָרֵֽחַ׃ |
8 And he shall have dominion from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.
| וְ֭יֵרְדְּ מִיָּ֣ם עַד־יָ֑ם וּ֝מִנָּהָ֗ר עַד־אַפְסֵי־אָֽרֶץ׃ |
9 Before him shall bend down those that dwell in the wilderness; and his enemies shall lick the dust.
| לְ֭פָנָיו יִכְרְע֣וּ צִיִּ֑ים וְ֝אֹיְבָ֗יו עָפָ֥ר יְלַחֵֽכוּ׃ |
10 The kings of Tharshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
| מַלְכֵ֬י תַרְשִׁ֣ישׁ וְ֭אִיִּים מִנְחָ֣ה יָשִׁ֑יבוּ מַלְכֵ֥י שְׁבָ֥א וּ֝סְבָ֗א אֶשְׁכָּ֥ר יַקְרִֽיבוּ׃ |
11 Yea, there shall bow down before him all kings: all nations shall serve him.
| וְיִשְׁתַּחֲווּ־לֹ֥ו כָל־מְלָכִ֑ים כָּל־גֹּויִ֥ם יַֽעַבְדֽוּהוּ׃ |
12 For he will deliver the needy when he crieth; the afflicted also, who hath no helper.
| כִּֽי־יַ֭צִּיל אֶבְיֹ֣ון מְשַׁוֵּ֑עַ וְ֝עָנִ֗י וְֽאֵין־עֹזֵ֥ר לֹֽו׃ |
13 He will spare the poor and needy; and the souls of the needy will he assist.
| יָ֭חֹס עַל־דַּ֣ל וְאֶבְיֹ֑ון וְנַפְשֹׁ֖ות אֶבְיֹונִ֣ים יֹושִֽׁיעַ׃ |
14 From wrong and violence will he deliver their soul; and precious shall their blood be in his eyes.
| מִתֹּ֣וךְ וּ֭מֵחָמָס יִגְאַ֣ל נַפְשָׁ֑ם וְיֵיקַ֖ר דָּמָ֣ם בְּעֵינָֽיו׃ |
15 And he shall live; and he will give him of the gold of Sheba: and he will pray in his behalf continually; all the time will he bless him.
| וִיחִ֗י וְיִתֶּן־לֹו֮ מִזְּהַ֪ב שְׁ֫בָ֥א וְיִתְפַּלֵּ֣ל בַּעֲדֹ֣ו תָמִ֑יד כָּל־הַ֝יֹּ֗ום יְבָרֲכֶֽנְהֽוּ׃ |
16 There shall be an abundance of corn in the land; upon the top of the mountains its fruit shall shake like [the trees of] Lebanon; and [men] shall blossom out of the city like herbs of the earth.
| יְהִ֤י פִסַּת־בַּ֨ר ׀ בָּאָרֶץ֮ בְּרֹ֪אשׁ הָ֫רִ֥ים יִרְעַ֣שׁ כַּלְּבָנֹ֣ון פִּרְיֹ֑ו וְיָצִ֥יצוּ מֵ֝עִ֗יר כְּעֵ֣שֶׂב הָאָֽרֶץ׃ |
17 His name will endure for ever; in the presence of the sun his name shall flourish: and men shall bless themselves with him: all nations shall call him happy.
| יְהִ֤י שְׁמֹ֨ו לְֽעֹולָ֗ם לִפְנֵי־שֶׁמֶשׁ֮ יָנִין (יִנֹּ֪ון) שְׁ֫מֹ֥ו וְיִתְבָּ֥רְכוּ בֹ֑ו כָּל־גֹּויִ֥ם יְאַשְּׁרֽוּהוּ׃ |
18 Blessed be the Lord the God, the God of Israel, who alone doth wondrous things.
| בָּר֤וּךְ ׀ יְהוָ֣ה אֱ֭לֹהִים אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל עֹשֵׂ֖ה נִפְלָאֹ֣ות לְבַדֹּֽו׃ |
19 And blessed he his glorious name for ever; and with his glory may the whole earth be filled: Amen, and Amen.
| וּבָר֤וּךְ ׀ שֵׁ֥ם כְּבֹודֹ֗ו לְעֹ֫ולָ֥ם וְיִמָּלֵ֣א כְ֭בֹודֹו אֶת־כֹּ֥ל הָאָ֗רֶץ אָ֘מֵ֥ן ׀ וְאָמֵֽן׃ |
20 Here are ended the prayers of David the son of Jesse.
| כָּלּ֥וּ תְפִלֹּ֑ות דָּ֝וִ֗ד בֶּן־יִשָֽׁי׃ |
