Psalms 72
1 Solomon’s. O God! thy justice, give, unto the king, And thy righteousness, unto the son of a king;
| לִשְׁלֹמֹ֨ה ׀ אֱֽלֹהִ֗ים מִ֭שְׁפָּטֶיךָ לְמֶ֣לֶךְ תֵּ֑ן וְצִדְקָתְךָ֥ לְבֶן־מֶֽלֶךְ׃ |
2 May he judge, Thy people with righteousness; And thine oppressed ones with justice;
| יָדִ֣ין עַמְּךָ֣ בְצֶ֑דֶק וַעֲנִיֶּ֥יךָ בְמִשְׁפָּֽט׃ |
3 May the mountains bring peace to the people, And the hills [be laden] with righteousness;
| יִשְׂא֤וּ הָרִ֓ים שָׁ֘לֹ֥ום לָעָ֑ם וּ֝גְבָעֹ֗ות בִּצְדָקָֽה׃ |
4 May he, Vindicate the oppressed of the people, Bring deliverance to the children of the needy, and, Crush the oppressor.
| יִשְׁפֹּ֤ט ׀ עֲֽנִיֵּי־עָ֗ם יֹ֭ושִׁיעַ לִבְנֵ֣י אֶבְיֹ֑ון וִֽידַכֵּ֣א עֹושֵֽׁק׃ |
5 Let men revere thee, With the sun, And in presence of the moon, Unto the remotest generation.
| יִֽירָא֥וּךָ עִם־שָׁ֑מֶשׁ וְלִפְנֵ֥י יָ֝רֵ֗חַ דֹּ֣ור דֹּורִֽים׃ |
6 Let him come down, Like rain on fields to be mown, Like myriad drops on land to be reaped.
| יֵ֭רֵד כְּמָטָ֣ר עַל־גֵּ֑ז כִּ֝רְבִיבִ֗ים זַרְזִ֥יף אָֽרֶץ׃ |
7 May righteousness, in his days, blossom forth, And abundance of peace, till there be no moon.
| יִֽפְרַח־בְּיָמָ֥יו צַדִּ֑יק וְרֹ֥ב שָׁ֝לֹ֗ום עַד־בְּלִ֥י יָרֵֽחַ׃ |
8 So let him have dominion, From sea to sea, And from the River ["Euphrates"] unto the ends of the earth;
| וְ֭יֵרְדְּ מִיָּ֣ם עַד־יָ֑ם וּ֝מִנָּהָ֗ר עַד־אַפְסֵי־אָֽרֶץ׃ |
9 Before him, let the men of the desert kneel, But, as for his foes, the dust, let them lick;
| לְ֭פָנָיו יִכְרְע֣וּ צִיִּ֑ים וְ֝אֹיְבָ֗יו עָפָ֥ר יְלַחֵֽכוּ׃ |
10 The kings of Tarshish and of the Coastlands, A gift, let them render, The kings of Sheba and Seba, A present, let them bring;
| מַלְכֵ֬י תַרְשִׁ֣ישׁ וְ֭אִיִּים מִנְחָ֣ה יָשִׁ֑יבוּ מַלְכֵ֥י שְׁבָ֥א וּ֝סְבָ֗א אֶשְׁכָּ֥ר יַקְרִֽיבוּ׃ |
11 Yea let all kings, bow down unto him, Let, all nations, serve him;
| וְיִשְׁתַּחֲווּ־לֹ֥ו כָל־מְלָכִ֑ים כָּל־גֹּויִ֥ם יַֽעַבְדֽוּהוּ׃ |
12 Because he Rescueth, The needy from the rich, The oppressed, who hath no helper;
| כִּֽי־יַ֭צִּיל אֶבְיֹ֣ון מְשַׁוֵּ֑עַ וְ֝עָנִ֗י וְֽאֵין־עֹזֵ֥ר לֹֽו׃ |
13 He Pitieth the weak and the needy, And, the lives of the needy, he Saveth:
| יָ֭חֹס עַל־דַּ֣ל וְאֶבְיֹ֑ון וְנַפְשֹׁ֖ות אֶבְיֹונִ֣ים יֹושִֽׁיעַ׃ |
14 From extortion, and, violence, he Redeemeth their life, And precious is their blood in his sight.
| מִתֹּ֣וךְ וּ֭מֵחָמָס יִגְאַ֣ל נַפְשָׁ֑ם וְיֵיקַ֖ר דָּמָ֣ם בְּעֵינָֽיו׃ |
15 Let him live, then! And be there given unto him of the gold of Sheba, —Let prayer also be offered for him continually, All the day, let him be blessed.
| וִיחִ֗י וְיִתֶּן־לֹו֮ מִזְּהַ֪ב שְׁ֫בָ֥א וְיִתְפַּלֵּ֣ל בַּעֲדֹ֣ו תָמִ֑יד כָּל־הַ֝יֹּ֗ום יְבָרֲכֶֽנְהֽוּ׃ |
16 May there be an abundance of corn in the earth, in the top of the mountains, —Let the fruit thereof, wave like Lebanon, And they of the city bloom like the fresh shoots of the earth.
| יְהִ֤י פִסַּת־בַּ֨ר ׀ בָּאָרֶץ֮ בְּרֹ֪אשׁ הָ֫רִ֥ים יִרְעַ֣שׁ כַּלְּבָנֹ֣ון פִּרְיֹ֑ו וְיָצִ֥יצוּ מֵ֝עִ֗יר כְּעֵ֣שֶׂב הָאָֽרֶץ׃ |
17 May his Name be age-abiding, In the presence of the sun, let his Name flourish, —And may all the families of the ground bless themselves in him, All nations, pronounce him happy!
| יְהִ֤י שְׁמֹ֨ו לְֽעֹולָ֗ם לִפְנֵי־שֶׁמֶשׁ֮ יָנִין (יִנֹּ֪ון) שְׁ֫מֹ֥ו וְיִתְבָּ֥רְכוּ בֹ֑ו כָּל־גֹּויִ֥ם יְאַשְּׁרֽוּהוּ׃ |
18 Blessed be Yahweh God, the God of Israel, —Who doeth wondrous things by himself alone;
| בָּר֤וּךְ ׀ יְהוָ֣ה אֱ֭לֹהִים אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל עֹשֵׂ֖ה נִפְלָאֹ֣ות לְבַדֹּֽו׃ |
19 And blessed be his glorious Name, unto times age-abiding, —And filled with his glory be all the earth, Amen and Amen!
| וּבָר֤וּךְ ׀ שֵׁ֥ם כְּבֹודֹ֗ו לְעֹ֫ולָ֥ם וְיִמָּלֵ֣א כְ֭בֹודֹו אֶת־כֹּ֥ל הָאָ֗רֶץ אָ֘מֵ֥ן ׀ וְאָמֵֽן׃ |
20 Ended are the prayers of David, son of Jesse.
| כָּלּ֥וּ תְפִלֹּ֑ות דָּ֝וִ֗ד בֶּן־יִשָֽׁי׃ |
