Psalms 72:1-7

¹“For Solomon.” To the king, O God! give thy justice, And to the son of a king thy righteousness!

²Yea! he shall judge thy people with equity, And thine oppressed ones with justice.

³For the mountains shall bring forth peace to the people, And the hills, through righteousness.

⁴He shall defend the oppressed of the people; He shall save the needy, And break in pieces the oppressor.

⁵They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon shall endure, From generation to generation.

⁶He shall be like rain descending on the mown field,—Like showers which water the earth.

⁷In his days shall the righteous flourish, And great shall be their prosperity, as long as the moon shall endure.
