Psalms 72

1 Of Solomon - O God judgments your to [the] king give and righteousness your to [the] son of [the] king.

For Solomon. O God, give your judgment to the king, and your righteousness to the king's son;

2 He will judge people your with righteousness and poor [people] your with justice.

[that he may] judge your people with righteousness, and your poor with judgment.

3 They will carry mountains peace to the people and hills in righteousness.

Let the mountains and the hills raise peace to your people:

4 He will judge - [the] poor [people] of [the] people he will save [the] children of [the] needy so he may crush [the] oppressor.

he shall judge the poor of the people in righteousness, and save the children of the needy; and shall bring low the false accuser.

5 People will fear you with [the] sun and before [the] moon generation of generations.

And he shall continue as long as the sun, and before the moon for ever.

6 He will come down like rain on mown grass like copious showers dropping of [the] earth.

He shall come down as rain upon a fleece; and as drops falling upon the earth.

7 He will flourish in days his [the] righteous and abundance of well-being [will be] until not [the] moon.

In his days shall righteousness spring up; and abundance of peace till the moon be removed.

8 And may he rule from sea to sea and from [the] river to [the] ends of [the] earth.

And he shall have dominion from sea to sea, and 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.

The Ethiopians shall fall down before him; and his enemies shall lick 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 Tharsis, and the isles, shall bring presents: the kings of the Arabians and Saba shall offer gifts.

11 And they may bow down to him all kings all nations they will serve him.

And all kings shall worship him; all the Gentiles shall serve him.

12 For he will deliver [the] needy [who] cries for help and [the] poor and not a helper [belongs] to him.

For he has delivered the poor from the oppressor; and the needy who had no helper.

13 He will have compassion on [the] poor and [the] needy and [the] lives of needy [people] he will save.

He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall deliver the souls of the needy.

14 From oppression and from violence he will redeem life their and may be precious blood their in view his.

He shall redeem their souls from usury and injustice: and their name [shall be] precious before 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.

And he shall live, and there shall be given him of the gold of Arabia: and [men] shall pray for him continually; [and] all the day shall they praise him.

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.

There shall be an establishment on the earth on the tops of the mountains: the fruit thereof shall be exalted above Libanus, and they of the city shall flourish as grass of the earth.

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.

Let his name be blessed for ever: his name shall endure longer than the sun: and all the tribes of the earth shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him blessed.

18 [be] blessed - Yahweh God [the] God of Israel [who] does wonders to only him.

Blessed is the Lord God of Israel, who alone does wonders.

19 And [be] blessed - [the] name of glory his for ever and may it be filled glory his all the earth amen - and amen.

And blessed is his glorious name for ever, even for ever and ever: and all the earth shall be filled with his glory. So be it, so be it.

20 They are finished [the] prayers of David [the] son of Jesse.

The hymns of David the son of Jessae are ended.
