Psalms 72:1-7

¹A psalm of Solomon. Give the king your righteous decrees, God, your righteousness to the king's son.

²May he judge your people with righteousness and your poor with justice.

³May the mountains produce peace for the people; may the hills produce righteousness.

⁴May he judge the poor of the people; may he save the children of the needy and break in pieces the oppressor.

⁵May they honor you while the sun endures, and as long as the moon lasts throughout all generations.

⁶May he come down like rain on the mown grass, like showers that water the earth.

⁷May the righteous flourish in his days, and may there be an abundance of peace till the moon is no more.
