Psalms 72:1-7

¹A psalm written by Solomon. O God, enable me, the king whom you appointed in Israel, to rule justly. Show/Teach me how to judge matters fairly

²in order that I will judge your people fairly, that I will govern your oppressed people justly.

³I desire that all over the country—even on the hills and mountains DOU— people will live peacefully and righteously.

⁴Help me, your king, to defend the poor people and to rescue needy people and to defeat those who oppress them.

⁵I desire that your people will revere you as long as the moon shines, forever.

⁶I desire that my rule will be enjoyed by the people SIM like they enjoy rain on growing crops, like they enjoy showers that fall on the land.

⁷I hope/desire that people will live righteously during the years that I rule, and that my people will live peacefully and prosperously as long as the moon shines.
