Psalm 72 (WEBP)

[1] God, give the king your justice; your righteousness to the royal son.
[2] He will judge your people with righteousness, and your poor with justice.
[3] The mountains shall bring prosperity to the people. The hills bring the fruit of righteousness.
[4] He will judge the poor of the people. He will save the children of the needy, and will break the oppressor in pieces.
[5] They shall fear you while the sun endures; and as long as the moon, throughout all generations.
[6] He will come down like rain on the mown grass, as 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, from the River to the ends of the earth.
[9] Those who dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him. His enemies shall lick the dust.
[10] The kings of Tarshish and of the islands will bring tribute. The kings of Sheba and Seba shall 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, who has no helper.
[13] He will have pity on the poor and needy. He will save the souls of the needy.
[14] He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence. Their blood will be precious in his sight.
[15] He will live; and Sheba’s gold will be given to him. Men will pray for him continually. They will bless him all day long.
[16] Abundance of grain shall be throughout the land. Its fruit sways like Lebanon. Let it flourish, thriving like the grass of the field.
[17] His name endures forever. His name continues as long as the sun. Men shall be blessed by him. All nations will call him blessed.
[18] Praise be to Yahweh God, the God of Israel, who alone does marvelous deeds.
[19] Blessed be his glorious name forever! Let the whole earth be filled with his glory! Amen and amen.
[20] This ends the prayers by David, the son of Jesse.

[1] [71:1] εις σαλωμων ο θεος το κριμα σου τω βασιλει δος και την δικαιοσυνην σου τω υιω του βασιλεως
[2] [71:2] κρινειν τον λαον σου εν δικαιοσυνη και τους πτωχους σου εν κρισει
