Psalms 72
1
your righteousness to the royal son.
2
and your poor with justice.
3
The hills bring the fruit of righteousness.
4
and will break the oppressor in pieces.
5
and as long as the moon, throughout all generations.
6
as showers that water the earth.
7
and abundance of peace, until the moon is no more.
8
from the River to the ends of the earth.
9
His enemies shall lick the dust.
10
The kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
11
All nations shall serve him.
12
the poor, who has no helper.
13
He will save the souls of the needy.
14
Their blood will be precious in his sight.
15
They shall bless him all day long.
16
Let it flourish, thriving like the grass of the field.
17
All nations will call him blessed.
18
who alone does marvelous deeds.
19
Amen and amen.
20
This ends the prayers by David, the son of Jesse.
