72:1
Teach the king to judge with your righteousness, O God; share with him your
own justice, |
72:2
so that he will rule over your people with justice and govern the oppressed
with righteousness. |
72:3
May the land enjoy prosperity; may it experience righteousness. |
72:4
May the king judge the poor fairly; may he help the needy and defeat their
oppressors. |
72:5
May your people worship you as long as the sun shines, as long as the moon
gives light, for ages to come. |
72:6
May the king be like rain on the fields, like showers falling on the land. |
72:7
May righteousness flourish in his lifetime, and may prosperity last as long
as the moon gives light. |
72:8
His kingdom will reach from sea to sea, from the Euphrates to the ends of the
earth. |
72:9
The peoples of the desert will bow down before him; his enemies will throw
themselves to the ground. |
72:10
The kings of Spain and of the islands will offer him gifts; the kings of
Sheba and Seba will bring him offerings. |
72:11
All kings will bow down before him; all nations will serve him. |
72:12
He rescues the poor who call to him, and those who are needy and neglected. |
72:13
He has pity on the weak and poor; he saves the lives of those in need. |
72:14
He rescues them from oppression and violence; their lives are precious to
him. |
72:15
Long live the king! May he be given gold from Sheba; may prayers be said for
him at all times; may God's blessings be on him always! |
72:16
May there be plenty of grain in the land; may the hills be covered with
crops, as fruitful as those of Lebanon. May the cities be filled with people,
like fields full of grass. |
72:17
May the king's name never be forgotten; may his fame last as long as the sun.
May all nations ask God to bless them as he has blessed the king. |
72:18
Praise the LORD, the God of Israel! He alone does these wonderful things. |
72:19
Praise his glorious name forever! May his glory fill the whole world. Amen!
Amen! |
72:20
This is the end of the prayers of David son of Jesse. |
