1 A psalm on Solomon.
72:1 Para Salomón. OH Dios, da tus juicios al rey, y tu justicia al hijo del rey.
2 Give to the king thy judgment, O God: and to the king’s son thy justice: To judge thy people with justice, and thy poor with judgment.
72:2 El juzgará tu pueblo con justicia, y tus afligidos con juicio.
3 Let the mountains receive peace for the people: and the hills justice.
72:3 Los montes llevarán paz al pueblo, y los collados justicia.
4 He shall judge the poor of the people, and he shall save the children of the poor: and he shall humble the oppressor.
72:4 Juzgará los afligidos del pueblo, salvará los hijos del menesteroso, y quebrantará al violento.
5 And he shall continue with the sun, and before the moon, throughout all generations.
72:5 Temerte han mientras duren el sol y la luna, por generación de generaciones.
6 He shall come down like rain upon the fleece; and as showers falling gently upon the earth.
72:6 Descenderá como la lluvia sobre la hierba cortada; como el rocío que destila [sobre] la tierra.
7 In his days shall justice spring up, and abundance of peace, till the moon be taken sway.
72:7 Florecerá en sus días justicia, y muchedumbre de paz, hasta que no haya luna.
8 And he shall rule from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.
72:8 Y dominará de mar á mar, y desde el río hasta los cabos de la tierra.
9 Before him the Ethiopians shall fall down: and his enemies shall lick the ground.
72:9 Delante de él se postrarán los Etiopes; y sus enemigos lamerán la tierra.
10 The kings of Tharsis and the islands shall offer presents: the kings of the Arabians and of Saba shall bring gifts:
72:10 Los reyes de Tharsis y de las islas traerán presentes: los reyes de Sheba y de Seba ofrecerán dones.
11 And all kings of the earth shall adore him: all nations shall serve him.
72:11 Y arrodillarse han á él todos los reyes; le servirán todas las gentes.
12 For he shall deliver the poor from the mighty: and the needy that had no helper.
72:12 Porque él librará al menesteroso que clamare, y al afligido que no tuviere quien le socorra.
13 He shall spare the poor and needy: and he shall save the souls of the poor.
72:13 Tendrá misericordia del pobre y del menesteroso, y salvará las almas de los pobres.
14 He shall redeem their souls from usuries and iniquity: and their names shall be honourable in his sight.
72:14 De engaño y de violencia redimirá sus almas; y la sangre de ellos será preciosa en sus ojos.
15 And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Arabia, for him they shall always adore: they shall bless him all the day.
72:15 Y vivirá, y darásele del oro de Seba; y oraráse por él continuamente; todo el día se le bendecirá.
16 And there shall be a firmament on the earth on the tops of mountains, above Libanus shall the fruit thereof be exalted: and they of the city shall flourish like the grass of the earth.
72:16 Será [echado] un puño de grano en tierra, en las cumbres de los montes; su fruto hará ruido como el Líbano, y los de la ciudad florecerán como la hierba de la tierra.
17 Let his name be blessed for evermore: his name continueth before the sun. And in him shall all the tribes of the earth be blessed: all nations shall magnify him.
72:17 Será su nombre para siempre, perpetuaráse su nombre mientras el sol dure: y benditas serán en él todas las gentes: llamarlo han bienaventurado.
18 Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, who alone doth wonderful things.
72:18 Bendito Jehová Dios, el Dios de Israel, que solo hace maravillas.
19 And blessed be the name of his majesty for ever: and the whole earth shall be filled with his majesty. So be it. So be it.
72:19 Y bendito su nombre glorioso para siempre: y toda la tierra sea llena de su gloria. Amén y Amén.
20 The praises of David, the son of Jesse, are ended.
72:20 Acábanse las oraciones de David, hijo de Isaí.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations). Verse numbers below follow the Hebrew/English numbering: 72.

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

    And again when it is preaching the Gospel beforehand, and saying, "In his days shall righteousness flourish, and abundance of peace, till the moon be taken away," it doth not set a limit to this fair part of creation.

  4. Quotes verse 72:5 Cyril of Jerusalem, Catechetical Lectures (Lecture VII)

    And how is it also that they are not abashed at that which is written, From the womb before the morning-star have I begotten thee: also this, He shall endure with the sun, and before the moon, from generation to generation.
