תהילים 72

1 לִשְׁלֹמֹה ׀ אֱ‍ֽלֹהִים מִשְׁפָּטֶיךָ לְמֶלֶךְ תֵּן וְצִדְקָתְךָ לְבֶן־מֶֽלֶךְ׃

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

2 יָדִין עַמְּךָ בְצֶדֶק וַעֲנִיֶּיךָ בְמִשְׁפָּֽט׃

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

3 יִשְׂאוּ הָרִים שָׁלוֹם לָעָם וּגְבָעוֹת בִּצְדָקָֽה׃

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

4 יִשְׁפֹּט ׀ עֲ‍ֽנִיֵּי־עָם יוֹשִׁיעַ לִבְנֵי אֶבְיוֹן וִֽידַכֵּא עוֹשֵֽׁק׃

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 יִֽירָאוּךָ עִם־שָׁמֶשׁ וְלִפְנֵי יָרֵחַ דּוֹר דּוֹרִֽים׃

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

6 יֵרֵד כְּמָטָר עַל־גֵּז כִּרְבִיבִים זַרְזִיף אָֽרֶץ׃

He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass, as showers which are dropping on the earth.

7 יִֽפְרַח־בְּיָמָיו צַדִּיק וְרֹב שָׁלוֹם עַד־בְּלִי יָרֵֽחַ׃

In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace [shall be] till the moon shall be no more.

8 וְיֵרְדְּ מִיָּם עַד־יָם וּמִנָּהָר עַד־אַפְסֵי־אָֽרֶץ׃

And he shall have dominion from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.

9 לְפָנָיו יִכְרְעוּ צִיִּים וְאֹיְבָיו עָפָר יְלַחֵֽכוּ׃

Before him shall bend down those that dwell in the wilderness; and his enemies shall lick the dust.

10 מַלְכֵי תַרְשִׁישׁ וְאִיִּים מִנְחָה יָשִׁיבוּ מַלְכֵי שְׁבָא וּסְבָא אֶשְׁכָּר יַקְרִֽיבוּ׃

The kings of Tharshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.

11 וְיִשְׁתַּחֲווּ־לוֹ כָל־מְלָכִים כָּל־גּוֹיִם יַֽעַבְדֽוּהוּ׃

Yea, there shall bow down before him all kings: all nations shall serve him.

12 כִּֽי־יַצִּיל אֶבְיוֹן מְשַׁוֵּעַ וְעָנִי וְֽאֵין־עֹזֵר לֽוֹ׃

For he will deliver the needy when he crieth; the afflicted also, who hath no helper.

13 יָחֹס עַל־דַּל וְאֶבְיוֹן וְנַפְשׁוֹת אֶבְיוֹנִים יוֹשִֽׁיעַ׃

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

14 מִתּוֹךְ וּמֵחָמָס יִגְאַל נַפְשָׁם וְיֵיקַר דָּמָם בְּעֵינָֽיו׃

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

15 וִיחִי וְיִתֶּן־לוֹ מִזְּהַב שְׁבָא וְיִתְפַּלֵּל בַּעֲדוֹ תָמִיד כָּל־הַיּוֹם יְבָרֲכֶֽנְהֽוּ׃

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 יְהִי פִסַּת־בַּר ׀ בָּאָרֶץ בְּרֹאשׁ הָרִים יִרְעַשׁ כַּלְּבָנוֹן פִּרְיוֹ וְיָצִיצוּ מֵעִיר כְּעֵשֶׂב הָאָֽרֶץ׃

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 יְהִי שְׁמוֹ לְֽעוֹלָם לִפְנֵי־שֶׁמֶשׁ ינין יִנּוֹן שְׁמוֹ וְיִתְבָּרְכוּ בוֹ כָּל־גּוֹיִם יְאַשְּׁרֽוּהוּ׃

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 בָּרוּךְ ׀ יְהוָה אֱלֹהִים אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל עֹשֵׂה נִפְלָאוֹת לְבַדּֽוֹ׃

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

19 וּבָרוּךְ ׀ שֵׁם כְּבוֹדוֹ לְעוֹלָם וְיִמָּלֵא כְבוֹדוֹ אֶת־כֹּל הָאָרֶץ אָמֵן ׀ וְאָמֵֽן׃

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

20 כָּלּוּ תְפִלּוֹת דָּוִד בֶּן־יִשָֽׁי׃

Here are ended the prayers of David the son of Jesse.
