Psalms 72

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

“By Solomon.” O God, give unto the king thy decisions, and thy righteousness unto the king's son.

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

He shall decide for thy people with righteousness, and for thy afflicted with justice.

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

The mountains shall bear peace for the people, and the hills [the same], through righteousness.

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 afflicted of the people, he shall give help to the children of the needy; but he shall crush the oppressor.

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

They shall fear thee as long as the sun shineth, and in the presence of the moon, throughout all generations.

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

He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass, as showers which are dropping on 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 the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace [shall be] till the moon shall be no more.

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 unto the ends of the earth.

9 Before him they will bow down desert-dwellers and enemies his dust they will lick up.

Before him shall bend down those that dwell in the wilderness; 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 Tharshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.

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

Yea, there shall bow down before him all kings: all nations 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 will deliver the needy when he crieth; the afflicted also, who hath no helper.

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

He will spare the poor and needy; and the souls of the needy will he assist.

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

From wrong and violence will he deliver their soul; and precious shall their blood be in his eyes.

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 he will give him of the gold of Sheba: and he will pray in his behalf continually; all the time will he bless 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 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.

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.

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.

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

Blessed be the Lord the God, the God of Israel, who alone doth wondrous 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.

And blessed he his glorious name for ever; and with his glory may the whole earth be filled: Amen, and Amen.

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