New American Standard Bible
Chapter 72
2
May he judge Your people with righteousness
And Your afflicted with justice.
3
May the mountains bring peace to the people,
And the hills, in righteousness.
4
May he vindicate the afflicted of the people,
Save the children of the needy,
And crush the oppressor.
5
May they fear You while the sun
shines,
And as long as the moon
shines,
throughout all generations.
6
May he come down like rain upon the mown grass,
Like showers that water the earth.
7
May the righteous flourish in his days,
As well as an abundance of peace, until the moon is no more.
8
May he also rule from sea to sea,
And from the
Euphrates
River to the ends of the earth.
9
May the nomads of the desert bow before him,
And his enemies lick the dust.
10
May the kings of Tarshish and of the islands bring gifts;
May the kings of Sheba and Seba offer tributes.
11
And may all kings bow down before him,
All nations serve him.
12
For he will save the needy when he cries for help,
The afflicted also, and him who has no helper.
13
He will have compassion on the poor and needy,
And he will save the lives of the needy.
14
He will rescue their life from oppression and violence,
And their blood will be precious in his sight;
15
So may he live, and may the gold of Sheba be given to him;
And they are to pray for him continually;
They are to bless him all day long.
16
May there be abundance of grain on the earth on top of the mountains;
Its fruit will wave like
the cedars of
Lebanon;
And may those from the city flourish like the vegetation of the earth.
17
May his name endure forever;
May his name produce descendants as long as the sun
shines;
And may
people
wish blessings on themselves by him;
May all nations call him blessed.
18
Blessed be the
Lord
God, the God of Israel,
Who alone works wonders.
19
And blessed be His glorious name forever;
And may the whole earth be filled with His glory.
Amen and Amen.
20
The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.

13
He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy.
14
He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood be in his sight.
15
And he shall live, 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.
16
There shall be an handful of corn in the earth upon the top of the mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon: and they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.
17
His name shall endure for ever: his name shall be continued as long as the sun: and men shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him blessed.
18
Blessed be the
Lord
God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things.
