PSALM 72 Arise O King of OldGive unto the king thy judgment, O GodAnd thy righteousness unto the king's son He shall judge thy people with righteousness And thy poor with judgement The mountains shall bring peace to the people In the little hills, by righteousness He shall judge the poor of the people He should save the children of the needy And shall break in pieces, the oppressor They shall fear thee As long as the sun and moon endure He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass As showers that water the earth In his days shall the righteous Flourish in abundance of peace So long as the moon do He shall have dominion from sea to sea And from the river unto to the ends of the Earth They there dwell, in the wilderness Shall bow before him And his enemies shall lick the dust The kings of Tarshish and other isles Shall bring him presents The king of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts Yea, all kings shall fall down before him All nations shall serve him For he shall deliver The needy when he cries The poor also And him, that hath no helper He shall spare the poor and the needy He shall save the souls of the needy He shall redeem their soul From the sin and violence Precious shall be their blood in his sight And he shall live And to him shall be the gold of Sheba given Prayer shall also be made for him, continually Daily shall he be praised There shall be a handful of corn In the earth upon the top of mountains The fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon And there the city shall flourish Like grass of the earth 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 Blessed be the Lord God The God of Israel Who only doeth wondrous things Blessed be his glorious name Forever, let the whole Earth Be filled with his glory Amen and Amen The prayers of David, the son of Jesse, are ended |
