Psalms 72:1-6

¹Of Solomon. Give the king, O God, your own spirit of justice your spirit of right to the son of the king,

²that with right he may judge your people, and your downtrodden ones with justice.

³May the mountains bear weal for the people, and the hills yield fruits of justice.

⁴The weak may he help to their rights, may he save the sons of the needy and crush the oppressor in pieces.

⁵May he live as long as the sun, while the moon shines — for ages and ages.

⁶May he be like the rain on the meadow, like showers that water the earth.
