Psalms 72:1-8

¹A Psalm of Solomon. Give the king thy judgments, O God, And thy righteousness unto the king’s son.

²He will judge thy people with righteousness, And thy poor with justice.

³The mountains shall bring peace to the people, And the hills, in righteousness.

⁴He will judge the poor of the people, He will save the children of the needy, And will break in pieces the oppressor.

⁵They shall fear thee while the sun endureth, And so long as the moon, throughout all generations.

⁶He will come down like rain upon the mown grass, As showers that water the earth.

⁷In his days shall the righteous flourish, And abundance of peace, till the moon be no more.

⁸He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, And from the River unto the ends of the earth.
