| # Chapter 72
#### 1 | God, give the king your justice; Your righteousness to the royal son.
#### 2 | He will judge your people with righteousness, And your poor with justice.
#### 3 | The mountains shall bring prosperity to the people; The hills bring the fruit of righteousness.
#### 4 | He will judge the poor of the people. He will save the children of the needy, And will break the oppressor in pieces.
#### 5 | They shall fear you while the sun endures; And as long as the moon, throughout all generations.
#### 6 | He will come down like rain on the mown grass, As showers that water the earth.
#### 7 | In his days, the righteous shall flourish, And abundance of peace, until the moon is no more.
#### 8 | He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, From the River to the ends of the earth.
#### 9 | Those who dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him. His enemies shall lick the dust.
#### 10 | The kings of Tarshish and of the isles will bring tribute. The kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
#### 11 | Yes, all kings shall fall down before him. All nations shall serve him.
#### 12 | For he will deliver the needy when he cries; The poor, who has no helper.
#### 13 | He will have pity on the poor and needy. He will save the souls of the needy.
#### 14 | He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence. Their blood will be precious in his sight.
#### 15 | They shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba. Men shall pray for him continually. They shall bless him all day long.
#### 16 | There shall be abundance of grain throughout the land. Its fruit sways like Lebanon. Let it flourish, thriving like the grass of the field.
#### 17 | His name endures forever. His name continues as long as the sun. Men shall be blessed by him. All nations will call him blessed.
#### 18 | Praise be to Yahweh God, the God of Israel, Who alone does marvelous deeds.
#### 19 | Blessed be his glorious name forever! Let the whole earth be filled with his glory! Amen and amen.
#### 20 | This ends the prayers by David, the son of Jesse. BOOK III Psalm 73 A Psalm by Asaph.
