| 72:1 | for Solomon. Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness to the king's son. | |
| 72:2 | He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment. | |
| 72:3 | The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness. | |
| 72:4 | He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor. | |
| 72:5 | They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations. | |
| 72:6 | He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers water the earth. | |
| 72:7 | In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth. | |
| 72:8 | He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river to the ends of the earth. | |
| 72:9 | They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; and his enemies shall lick the dust. | |
| 72:10 | The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts. | |
| 72:11 | Yes, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve him. | |
| 72:12 | For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and that hath no helper. | |
| 72:13 | He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy. | |
| 72:14 | He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall be their blood in his sight. | |
| 72:15 | And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: prayer also shall be made for him continually; daily shall he be praised. | |
| 72:16 | There shall be a handful of corn in the earth upon the top of the mountains; the fruit of it shall shake like Lebanon: and of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth. | |
| 72:17 | His name shall endure for ever: his name shall be continued as long as the sun: and shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him blessed. | |
| 72:18 | Blessed the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things. | |
| 72:19 | And blessed his glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled his glory; Amen, and amen. | |
| 72:20 | The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended. | |
