72:1 Give the king your justice, O God, and your righteousness to a king's son.
72:2 May he judge your people with righteousness, and your poor with justice.
72:3 May the mountains yield prosperity for the people, and the hills, in
righteousness.
72:4 May he defend the cause of the poor of the people, give deliverance to the needy,
and crush the oppressor.
72:5 May he live while the sun endures, and as long as the moon, throughout all
generations.
72:6 May he be like rain that falls on the mown grass, like showers that water the
earth.
72:7 In his days may righteousness flourish and peace abound, until the moon is no
more.
72:10 May the kings of Tarshish and of the isles render him tribute, may the kings of
Sheba and Seba bring gifts.
72:11 May all kings fall down before him, all nations give him service.
72:12 For he delivers the needy when they call, the poor and those who have no helper.
72:13 He has pity on the weak and the needy, and saves the lives of the needy.
72:14 From oppression and violence he redeems their life; and precious is their blood
in his sight.
