Psalms 72
1 Of Solomon - O God judgments your to [the] king give and righteousness your to [the] son of [the] king.
A psalm of Solomon. God, please give the king fairness, and give the king's son the ability to do what's right.
2 He will judge people your with righteousness and poor [people] your with justice.
May he rightly judge your people, and may he be fair to the poor.
3 They will carry mountains peace to the people and hills in righteousness.
May the mountains bring peace to the people, and the hills bring goodness.
4 He will judge - [the] poor [people] of [the] people he will save [the] children of [the] needy so he may crush [the] oppressor.
May he defend the poor and save their children, may he crush those who oppress them.
5 People will fear you with [the] sun and before [the] moon generation of generations.
May they respect him as long as the sun and the moon shine above, for all generations.
6 He will come down like rain on mown grass like copious showers dropping of [the] earth.
May his reign be like rain falling on new grass, like showers that water the earth.
7 He will flourish in days his [the] righteous and abundance of well-being [will be] until not [the] moon.
May those who live right prosper under his rule; may there be great prosperity until the moon is no more.
8 And may he rule from sea to sea and from [the] river to [the] ends of [the] earth.
May he rule from sea to sea, from the river to the ends of the earth.
9 Before him they will bow down desert-dwellers and enemies his dust they will lick up.
Desert tribes will kneel before him; and his enemies will bite the dust.
10 [the] kings of Tarshish and [the] islands tribute they will pay [the] kings of Sheba and Seba a gift they will bring near.
The kings of Tarshish and the islands will bring him tribute; the kings of Sheba and Seba will present him with gifts.
11 And they may bow down to him all kings all nations they will serve him.
Every king will bow down to him; every nation will serve him.
12 For he will deliver [the] needy [who] cries for help and [the] poor and not a helper [belongs] to him.
He will help the poor when they cry out to him, and help those who are suffering that have no one to support them.
13 He will have compassion on [the] poor and [the] needy and [the] lives of needy [people] he will save.
He has pity on the poor and needy—he saves their lives!
14 From oppression and from violence he will redeem life their and may be precious blood their in view his.
He rescues them from violence and oppression, for their lives mean so much to him.
15 And may he live and he may give to him some of [the] gold of Sheba and [may] someone pray for him continually all the day may someone bless him.
May he live long! May the gold from Sheba be given to him. May people always pray for him and bless him all day long.
16 May it be an abundance of grain - in the land on [the] top of [the] mountains may it wave like Lebanon fruit its and may people blossom from [the] city like [the] vegetation of the earth.
May there be plenty of grain in the land, even growing on mountain-tops. May the fruit on the trees sway like the trees of Lebanon. May the people in the city flourish like grass in a field.
17 May it be name his for ever before [the] sun (may it increase *Q(K)*) name his and may they bless themselves by him all nations may they call blessed him.
May his fame live forever, may it last as long as the sun. May all nations be blessed through him, and may they praise him.
18 [be] blessed - Yahweh God [the] God of Israel [who] does wonders to only him.
Praise the Lord God, the God of Israel, who is the only one who can do such fantastic things!
19 And [be] blessed - [the] name of glory his for ever and may it be filled glory his all the earth amen - and amen.
Praise his wonderful nature forever! May the whole world be full of his glory! Amen and amen!
20 They are finished [the] prayers of David [the] son of Jesse.
