Psalms 72
Solomon foreshadows the greatness and glory of the universal reign of Christ. Of Solomon.
1Of Solomon. Give the King Your judgments, O God; and Your righteousness to the King's son.
2Your people He shall judge in righteousness, and Your humble one in justice.
3The mountains will lift up peace to the people, and the little hills through righteousness.
4He shall judge the poor of the people; and He shall save the sons of the needy one; and He shall crush the oppressor.
5They shall fear You with the sun, and before the moon in generation and generation.
6He shall descend like rain on the mown grass, like showers that water the earth.
7In His days the righteous shall flourish, and plenty of peace, till the moon is not.
8He shall also rule from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth;
9Before Him will be brought low desert beasts, and His enemies will lick the dust.
10The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents; the kings of Sheba and Seba shall bring near gifts.
11Yea, all kings shall fall down before Him; all nations shall serve Him.
12For He shall save the needy one who cries, and the poor one with no helper to him.
13He shall have pity on the needy one and the poor one; and He saves the souls of the needy one .
14He shall redeem their souls from oppression and violence; and their blood shall be precious in His eyes.
15And He shall live, and the gold of Sheba shall be given to Him; and prayer shall be made to Him continually; He shall bless him all the day.
16A fullness of grain shall be in the earth on top of the mountains; its fruit shall shake like Lebanon; and they of the city shall flourish like the grass of the earth.
17His name shall be forever; His name shall continue before the sun; and they shall bless themselves by Him; all nations shall call Him blessed.
18Blessed is Jehovah God, the God of Israel, who alone does wonderful things.
19And blessed is His glorious name forever; and the whole earth is filled with His glory! Amen and amen!
20The prayers of David the son of Jesse have ended.
