Psalms 72:1-7, Psalms 72:18-19 - ESV Online

PSALMS 72:1-7

Give the King Your Justice

Of Solomon.
72:1

Give the king your justice, O God,

and your righteousness to the royal son! 2

May he judge your people with righteousness,

and your poor with justice! 3

Let the mountains bear prosperity for the people,

and the hills, in righteousness! 4

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

give deliverance to the children of the needy,

and crush the oppressor!
5

May they fear you while the sun endures,

and as long as the moon, throughout all generations! 6

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

like showers that water the earth! 7

In his days may the righteous flourish,

and peace abound, till the moon be no more!

PSALMS 72:18-19

Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,

who alone does wondrous things. 19

Blessed be his glorious name forever;

may the whole earth be filled with his glory!

Amen and Amen!
