Psalm 72
Fall Down Before Him
A Psalm for Solomon.
1 Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the king’s
son. 2 He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with
judgment. 3 The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little
hills, by righteousness. 4 He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save
the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor. 5 They
shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations.
6 He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers that water the
earth. 7 In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so
long as the moon endureth. 8 He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and
from the river unto the ends of the earth. 9 They that dwell in the wilderness
shall bow before him; and his enemies shall lick the dust. 10 The kings of
Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba
shall offer gifts. 11 Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations
shall serve him. 12 For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor
also, and him that hath no helper. 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. 19 And blessed be
his glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled with his glory; Amen,
and Amen.
