Psalm 72

¹A Psalme of Salomon. Give thy iudgements to the King, O God, and thy righteousnesse to the Kings sonne.

²Then shall he iudge thy people in righteousnesse, and thy poore with equitie.

³The mountaines and the hilles shall bring peace to the people by iustice.

⁴He shall iudge the poore of the people: he shall saue the children of the needie, and shall subdue the oppressor.

⁵They shall feare thee as long as the sunne and moone endureth, from generatio to generation.

⁶He shall come downe like the rayne vpon the mowen grasse, and as the showres that water the earth.

⁷In his dayes shall the righteous florish, and abundance of peace shalbe so long as the moone endureth.

⁸His dominion shall be also from sea to sea, and from the Riuer vnto the endes of the land.

⁹They that dwell in ye wildernes, shall kneele before him, and his enemies shall licke the dust.

¹⁰The Kings of Tarshish and of the yles shall bring presents: the Kings of Sheba and Seba shall bring giftes.

¹¹Yea, all Kings shall worship him: all nations shall serue him.

¹²For he shall deliuer the poore when he cryeth: the needie also, and him that hath no helper.

¹³He shalbe mercifull to the poore and needie, and shall preserue the soules of the poore.

¹⁴He shall redeeme their soules from deceite and violence, and deare shall their blood be in his sight.

¹⁵Yea, he shall liue, and vnto him shall they giue of the golde of Sheba: they shall also pray for him continually, and dayly blesse him.
