Psalms 72:6-20

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.

⁸He shall have dominion from sea to sea, And from the river to the ends of the earth.

⁹They that dwell in the desert shall bow before him, And his enemies shall lick the dust.

¹⁰The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents; The kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts;

¹¹Yea, all kings shall fall down before him; All nations shall serve him.

¹²For he shall deliver the poor who crieth for aid, And the oppressed who hath no helper.

¹³He shall spare the weak and needy, And save the lives of the poor.

¹⁴He shall redeem them from deceit and violence, And their blood shall be precious in his sight.

¹⁵He shall prosper, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba; Prayer also shall be made for him continually, And daily shall he be praised.

¹⁶There shall be an abundance of corn in the land; Its fruit shall shake like Lebanon, even on the tops of the mountains; And they of the cities shall flourish as the grass of the earth.

¹⁷His name shall endure for ever; His name shall be continued as long as the sun. By him shall men bless themselves; All nations shall call him blessed.

¹⁸Praised be God, Jehovah, the God of Israel, Who alone doeth wonderful things!

¹⁹Praised be his glorious name for ever! May his glory fill the whole earth! Amen, Amen!

²⁰Here end the Psalms of David, the son of Jesse.
