Old Testament

Psalms 72 Metrical Psalms 1650 (MP1650)

A Psalm for Solomon.

1. O Lord, thy judgments give the king,his son thy righteousness.

2. With right he shall thy people judge,thy poor with uprightness.

3. The lofty mountains shall bring forthunto the people peace;Likewise the little hills the sameshall do by righteousness.

4. The people's poor ones he shall judge,the needy's children save;And those shall he in pieces breakwho them oppressed have.

5. They shall thee fear, while sun and moondo last, through ages all.

6. Like rain on mown grass he shall drop,or show'rs on earth that fall.

7. The just shall flourish in his days,and prosper in his reign:He shall, while doth the moon endure,abundant peace maintain.

8. His large and great dominion shallfrom sea to sea extend:It from the river shall reach forthunto earth's utmost end.

9. They in the wilderness that dwellbow down before him must;And they that are his enemiesshall lick the very dust.

10. The kings of Tarshish, and the isles,to him shall presents bring;And unto him shall offer giftsSheba's and Seba's king.

11. Yea, all the mighty kings on earthbefore him down shall fall;And all the nations of the worlddo service to him shall.

12. For he the needy shall preserve,when he to him doth call;The poor also, and him that hathno help of man at all.

13. The poor man and the indigentin mercy he shall spare;He shall preserve alive the soulsof those that needy are.

14. Both from deceit and violencetheir soul he shall set free;And in his sight right preciousand dear their blood shall be.

15. Yea, he shall live, and giv'n to himshall be of Sheba's gold:For him still shall they pray, and heshall daily be extoll'd.

16. Of corn an handful in the earthon tops of mountains high,With prosp'rous fruit shall shake, like treeson Lebanon that be.The city shall be flourishing,her citizens aboundIn number shall, like to the grassthat grows upon the ground.

17. His name for ever shall endure;last like the sun it shall:Men shall be bless'd in him,and bless'd all nations shall him call.

18. Now blessed be the Lord our God,the God of Israel,For he alone doth wondrous works,in glory that excel.

19. And blessed be his glorious nameto all eternity:The whole earth let his glory fill.Amen, so let it be. The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
