Psalm 72

The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

1 By Shlomo: God, give the king your fairness in judgment, endow this son of kings with your righteousness,

2 so that he can govern your people rightly and your poor with justice.

3 May mountains and hills provide your people with peace through righteousness.

4 May he defend the oppressed among the people, save the needy and crush the oppressor.

5 May they fear you as long as the sun endures and as long as the moon, through all generations.

6 May he be like rain falling on mown grass, like showers watering the land.

7 In his days, let the righteous flourish and peace abound, till the moon is no more.

8 May his empire stretch from sea to sea, from the [Euphrates] River to the ends of the earth.

9 May desert-dwellers bow before him; may his enemies lick the dust.

10 The kings of Tarshish and the coasts will pay him tribute; the kings of Sh'va and S'va will offer gifts.

11 Yes, all kings will prostrate themselves before him; all nations will serve him.

12 For he will rescue the needy when they cry, the poor too and those with none to help them.

13 He will have pity on the poor and needy; and the lives of the needy he will save.

14 He will redeem them from oppression and violence; their blood will be precious in his view.

15 May [the king] live long! May they give him gold from the land of Sh'va! May they pray for him continually; yes, bless him all day long.

16 May there be an abundance of grain in the land, all the way to the tops of the mountains. May its crops rustle like the L'vanon. May people blossom in the city like the grasses in the fields.

17 May his name endure forever, his name, Yinnon, as long as the sun. May people bless themselves in him, may all nations call him happy.

18 Blessed be ADONAI, God, the God of Isra'el, who alone works wonders.

19 Blessed be his glorious name forever, and may the whole earth be filled with his glory. Amen. Amen.

20 This completes the prayers of David the son of Yishai.

New King James Version NKJV

1 A Psalm of Solomon. Give the king Your judgments, O God, And Your righteousness to the king's Son.

2 He will judge Your people with righteousness, And Your poor with justice.

3 The mountains will bring peace to the people, And the little hills, by righteousness.

4 He will bring justice to the poor of the people; He will save the children of the needy, And will break in pieces the oppressor.

5 They shall fear You As long as the sun and moon endure, Throughout all generations.

6 He shall come down like rain upon the grass before mowing, Like showers that water the earth.

7 In His days the righteous shall flourish, And abundance of peace, Until the moon is no more.

8 He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, And from the River to the ends of the earth.

9 Those who dwell in the wilderness will bow before Him, And His enemies will lick the dust.

10 The kings of Tarshish and of the isles Will bring presents; The kings of Sheba and Seba Will offer gifts.

11 Yes, all kings shall fall down before Him; All nations shall serve Him.

12 For He will deliver the needy when he cries, The poor also, and him who has no helper.

13 He will spare the poor and needy, And will save the souls of the needy.

14 He will redeem their life from oppression and violence; And precious shall be their blood in His sight.

15 And He shall live; And the gold of Sheba will be given to Him; Prayer also will be made for Him continually, And daily He shall be praised.

16 There will be an abundance of grain in the earth, On the top of the mountains; Its fruit shall wave like Lebanon; And those of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.

17 His name shall endure forever; His name shall continue as long as the sun. And men shall be blessed in Him; All nations shall call Him blessed.

18 Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, Who only does wondrous things!

19 And blessed be His glorious name forever! And let the whole earth be filled with His glory. Amen and Amen.
