Psalms 72:1-6

¹Of Solomon. Give the king your authority, O God, and your righteousness to the king's son.

²May he be a judge of your people in righteousness, and make true decisions for the poor.

³May the mountains give peace to the people, and the hills righteousness.

⁴May he be a judge of the poor among the people, may he give salvation to the children of those who are in need; by him let the violent be crushed.

⁵May his life go on as long as the sun and moon, through all generations.

⁶May he come down like rain on the cut grass; like showers watering the earth.
