Psalm 72 Literal Standard Version

721 BY SOLOMON. O God, give Your judgments to the king, || And Your righteousness to the king’s Son. 2 He judges Your people with righteousness, || And Your poor with judgment. 3 The mountains bear peace to the people, || And the heights by righteousness. 4 He judges the poor of the people, || Gives deliverance to the sons of the needy, || And bruises the oppressor. 5 They fear You with the sun, and before the moon, || Generation—generations. 6 He comes down as rain on mown grass, || As showers—sprinkling the earth. 7 The righteous flourish in His days, || And abundance of peace until the moon is not. 8 And He rules from sea to sea, || And from the river to the ends of the earth. 9 Desert-dwellers bow before Him, || And His enemies lick the dust. 10 Kings of Tarshish and of the islands send back a present. Kings of Sheba and Seba bring a reward near. 11 And all kings bow themselves to Him, || All nations serve Him, 12 For He delivers the needy who cries, || And the poor when he has no helper, 13 He has pity on the poor and needy, || And He saves the souls of the needy, 14 He redeems their soul from fraud and from violence, || And their blood is precious in His eyes. 15 And He lives, and the gold of Sheba [is] given to Him, || And prayer is continually made for Him, || All day He is continually blessed. 16 There is a handful of grain in the earth, || On the top of mountains, || Its fruit shakes like Lebanon, || And they flourish out of the city as the herb of the earth. 17 His Name is for all time, || Before the sun is His Name continued, || And they bless themselves in Him, || All nations pronounce Him blessed. 18 Blessed is YHWH God, God of Israel, || He alone is doing wonders, 19 And blessed [is] the Name of His glory for all time, || And the whole earth is filled [with] His glory. Amen and amen! 20 The prayers of David son of Jesse have been ended.
