Psalms

Chapter 72

{A Psalm of Solomon}
1 Give the king Your judgments, O 'Elohiym/Godhead,
and Your righteousness unto the king's son.

2 He shall judge your people with righteousness,
and your poor with judgment.

3 The mountains shall bring peace to the people,
and the little hills,
by righteousness.

4 He shall judge the poor of the people,
he shall save the children of the needy,
and shall break in pieces the oppressor.

5 They shall fear you as long as the sun
and moon endure,
throughout all generations.

6 He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass . . .
as showers that water the earth.

7 In his days
shall the righteous flourish;
and abundance of peace
so long as the moon endures.

8 He shall have dominion also from sea to sea,
and from the river unto the ends of the earth.

9 Those who dwell in the wilderness
shall bow before him;
and his enemies shall lick the dust.

10 The kings of Tarshish
and of the isles
shall bring presents.

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 shall deliver the needy when he cries;
the poor also,
and him who has no helper.

13 He shall spare the poor and needy,
and shall save the souls of the needy.

14 He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence
and precious shall their blood be in His sight.

15 And he shall live,
and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba.

Prayer also shall be made for him continually;
and daily shall he be praised.

16 There shall be an handful of corn in the earth
upon the top of the mountains;
the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon
and those of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.

17 His name shall endure forever.

His name shall be continued as long as the sun
and men shall be blessed in Him.

All nations shall call him blessed.

18 Blessed be Jehovah/God 'Elohiym/Godhead,
the 'Elohiym/Godhead of Israel,
Who only does wondrous things.

19 And blessed be His glorious name forever
and let the whole earth be filled with his glory;
Amen, and Amen.
  {Doubling is very strong in the Hebrew -
  I believe . . . yes truly I believe}

20 The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
