Psalms 72:1-6 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

1. Of Solomon.

2. O God, give your judgment to the king;your justice to the king’s son;That he may govern your people with justice,your oppressed with right judgment,

3. That the mountains may yield their bounty for the people,and the hills great abundance,

4. That he may defend the oppressed among the people,save the children of the poor and crush the oppressor.

5. May they fear you with the sun,and before the moon, through all generations.

6. May he be like rain coming down upon the fields,like showers watering the earth,
