| Psalms 72: (YLT) |
| 1) By Solomon. O God, Thy judgments to the king give, And Thy righteousness to the king's son. |
| 2) He judgeth Thy people with righteousness, And Thy poor with judgment. |
| 3) The mountains bear peace to the people, And the heights by righteousness. |
| 4) He judgeth the poor of the people, Giveth deliverance to the sons of the needy, And bruiseth the oppressor. |
| 5) They fear Thee with the sun, and before the moon, Generation -- generations. |
| 6) He cometh down as rain on mown grass, As showers -- sprinkling the earth. |
| 7) Flourish in his days doth the righteous, And abundance of peace till the moon is not. |
| 8) And he ruleth from sea unto sea, And from the river unto the ends of earth. |
| 9) Before him bow do the inhabitants of the dry places, And his enemies lick the dust. |
| 10) Kings of Tarshish and of the isles send back a present. Kings of Sheba and Seba a reward bring near. |
| 11) And all kings do bow themselves to him, All nations do serve him, |
| 12) For he delivereth the needy who crieth, And the poor when he hath no helper, |
| 13) He hath pity on the poor and needy, And the souls of the needy he saveth, |
| 14) From fraud and from violence he redeemeth their soul, And precious is their blood in his eyes. |
| 15) And he liveth, and giveth to him of the gold of Sheba, And prayeth for him continually, All the day he doth bless him. |
| 16) There is a handful of corn in the earth, On the top of mountains, Shake like Lebanon doth its fruit, And they flourish out of the city as the herb of the earth. |
| 17) His name is to the age, Before the sun is his name continued, And they bless themselves in him, All nations do pronounce him happy. |
| 18) Blessed is Jehovah God, God of Israel, He alone is doing wonders, |
| 19) And blessed [is] the Name of His honour to the age, And the whole earth is filled [with] His honour. Amen, and amen! |
| 20) The prayers of David son of Jesse have been ended. |
