Psalms 71:1-12

¹(72) For Solomon. O God, give your judgement to the king, and your righteousness to the king's son;

²that he may judge your people with righteousness, and your poor with judgement.

³Let the mountains and the hills raise peace to your people:

⁴he shall judge the poor of the people in righteousness, and save the children of the needy; and shall bring low the false accuser.

⁵And he shall continue as long as the sun, and before the moon for ever.

⁶He shall come down as rain upon a fleece; and as drops falling upon the earth.

⁷In his days shall righteousness spring up; and abundance of peace till the moon be removed.

⁸And he shall have dominion from sea to sea, and from the river to the ends of the earth.

⁹The Ethiopians shall fall down before him; and his enemies shall lick the dust.

¹⁰The kings of Tharsis, and the isles, shall bring presents: the kings of the Arabians and Saba shall offer gifts.

¹¹And all kings shall worship him; all the Gentiles shall serve him.

¹²For he has delivered the poor from the oppressor; and the needy who had no helper.
