Psalms 72
1 BY SOLOMON. O God, give Your judgments to the king, And Your righteousness to the king’s Son.
| לִשְׁלֹמֹ֨ה ׀ אֱֽלֹהִ֗ים מִ֭שְׁפָּטֶיךָ לְמֶ֣לֶךְ תֵּ֑ן וְצִדְקָתְךָ֥ לְבֶן־מֶֽלֶךְ׃ |
2 He judges Your people with righteousness, And Your poor with judgment.
| יָדִ֣ין עַמְּךָ֣ בְצֶ֑דֶק וַעֲנִיֶּ֥יךָ בְמִשְׁפָּֽט׃ |
3 The mountains bear peace to the people, And the heights by righteousness.
| יִשְׂא֤וּ הָרִ֓ים שָׁ֘לֹ֥ום לָעָ֑ם וּ֝גְבָעֹ֗ות בִּצְדָקָֽה׃ |
4 He judges the poor of the people, Gives deliverance to the sons of the needy, And bruises the oppressor.
| יִשְׁפֹּ֤ט ׀ עֲֽנִיֵּי־עָ֗ם יֹ֭ושִׁיעַ לִבְנֵ֣י אֶבְיֹ֑ון וִֽידַכֵּ֣א עֹושֵֽׁק׃ |
5 They fear You with the sun, and before the moon, Generation—generations.
| יִֽירָא֥וּךָ עִם־שָׁ֑מֶשׁ וְלִפְנֵ֥י יָ֝רֵ֗חַ דֹּ֣ור דֹּורִֽים׃ |
6 He comes down as rain on mown grass, As showers—sprinkling the earth.
| יֵ֭רֵד כְּמָטָ֣ר עַל־גֵּ֑ז כִּ֝רְבִיבִ֗ים זַרְזִ֥יף אָֽרֶץ׃ |
7 The righteous flourish in His days, And abundance of peace until the moon is not.
| יִֽפְרַח־בְּיָמָ֥יו צַדִּ֑יק וְרֹ֥ב שָׁ֝לֹ֗ום עַד־בְּלִ֥י יָרֵֽחַ׃ |
8 And He rules from sea to sea, And from the river to the ends of the earth.
| וְ֭יֵרְדְּ מִיָּ֣ם עַד־יָ֑ם וּ֝מִנָּהָ֗ר עַד־אַפְסֵי־אָֽרֶץ׃ |
9 Desert-dwellers bow before Him, And His enemies lick the dust.
| לְ֭פָנָיו יִכְרְע֣וּ צִיִּ֑ים וְ֝אֹיְבָ֗יו עָפָ֥ר יְלַחֵֽכוּ׃ |
10 Kings of Tarshish and of the islands send back a present. Kings of Sheba and Seba bring a reward near.
| מַלְכֵ֬י תַרְשִׁ֣ישׁ וְ֭אִיִּים מִנְחָ֣ה יָשִׁ֑יבוּ מַלְכֵ֥י שְׁבָ֥א וּ֝סְבָ֗א אֶשְׁכָּ֥ר יַקְרִֽיבוּ׃ |
11 And all kings bow themselves to Him, All nations serve Him,
| וְיִשְׁתַּחֲווּ־לֹ֥ו כָל־מְלָכִ֑ים כָּל־גֹּויִ֥ם יַֽעַבְדֽוּהוּ׃ |
12 For He delivers the needy who cries, And the poor when he has no helper,
| כִּֽי־יַ֭צִּיל אֶבְיֹ֣ון מְשַׁוֵּ֑עַ וְ֝עָנִ֗י וְֽאֵין־עֹזֵ֥ר לֹֽו׃ |
13 He has pity on the poor and needy, And He saves the souls of the needy,
| יָ֭חֹס עַל־דַּ֣ל וְאֶבְיֹ֑ון וְנַפְשֹׁ֖ות אֶבְיֹונִ֣ים יֹושִֽׁיעַ׃ |
14 He redeems their soul from fraud and from violence, And their blood is precious in His eyes.
| מִתֹּ֣וךְ וּ֭מֵחָמָס יִגְאַ֣ל נַפְשָׁ֑ם וְיֵיקַ֖ר דָּמָ֣ם בְּעֵינָֽיו׃ |
15 And He lives, and the gold of Sheba [is] given to Him, And prayer is continually made for Him, All day He is continually blessed.
| וִיחִ֗י וְיִתֶּן־לֹו֮ מִזְּהַ֪ב שְׁ֫בָ֥א וְיִתְפַּלֵּ֣ל בַּעֲדֹ֣ו תָמִ֑יד כָּל־הַ֝יֹּ֗ום יְבָרֲכֶֽנְהֽוּ׃ |
16 There is a handful of grain in the earth, On the top of mountains, Its fruit shakes like Lebanon, And they flourish out of the city as the herb of the earth.
| יְהִ֤י פִסַּת־בַּ֨ר ׀ בָּאָרֶץ֮ בְּרֹ֪אשׁ הָ֫רִ֥ים יִרְעַ֣שׁ כַּלְּבָנֹ֣ון פִּרְיֹ֑ו וְיָצִ֥יצוּ מֵ֝עִ֗יר כְּעֵ֣שֶׂב הָאָֽרֶץ׃ |
17 His Name is for all time, Before the sun is His Name continued, And they bless themselves in Him, All nations pronounce Him blessed.
| יְהִ֤י שְׁמֹ֨ו לְֽעֹולָ֗ם לִפְנֵי־שֶׁמֶשׁ֮ יָנִין (יִנֹּ֪ון) שְׁ֫מֹ֥ו וְיִתְבָּ֥רְכוּ בֹ֑ו כָּל־גֹּויִ֥ם יְאַשְּׁרֽוּהוּ׃ |
18 Blessed is YHWH God, God of Israel, He alone is doing wonders,
| בָּר֤וּךְ ׀ יְהוָ֣ה אֱ֭לֹהִים אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל עֹשֵׂ֖ה נִפְלָאֹ֣ות לְבַדֹּֽו׃ |
19 And blessed [is] the Name of His glory for all time, And the whole earth is filled [with] His glory. Amen and amen!
| וּבָר֤וּךְ ׀ שֵׁ֥ם כְּבֹודֹ֗ו לְעֹ֫ולָ֥ם וְיִמָּלֵ֣א כְ֭בֹודֹו אֶת־כֹּ֥ל הָאָ֗רֶץ אָ֘מֵ֥ן ׀ וְאָמֵֽן׃ |
20 The prayers of David son of Jesse have been ended.
| כָּלּ֥וּ תְפִלֹּ֑ות דָּ֝וִ֗ד בֶּן־יִשָֽׁי׃ |
