Psalm 72:1-8 (Revised Standard Version)
1
A Psalm of Solomon. Give the king thy justice, O God, and thy righteousness to the royal son!
2
May he judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with justice!
3
Let the mountains bear prosperity for the people, and the hills, in righteousness!
4
May he defend the cause of the poor of the people, give deliverance to the needy, and crush the oppressor!
5
May he live while the sun endures, and as long as the moon, throughout all generations!
6
May he be like rain that falls on the mown grass, like showers that water the earth!
7
In his days may righteousness flourish, and peace abound, till the moon be no more!
8
May he have dominion from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth!
