Psalm 72:1–7

₁Give the king your justice, | O God,*

and your righteousness to the | royal son!

₂May he judge your people with | righteousness,*

and your poor with | justice!

₃Let the mountains bear prosperity for the | people,*

and the hills, in | righteousness!

₄May he defend the cause of the poor of the people,

give deliverance to the children of the | needy,*

and crush the op- | pressor!

₅May they fear you while the | sun endures,*

and as long as the moon, throughout all gener- | ations!

₆May he be like rain that falls on the | mown grass,*

like showers that wa- | ter the earth!

₇In his days may the righteous | flourish,*

and peace abound, till the moon | be no more!
