Psalms 72:1-7
1
Psalm 72
Of Solomon.
Endow the king with your justice, O God,
the royal son with your righteousness.
2
He will judge your people in righteousness,
your afflicted ones with justice.
3
The mountains will bring prosperity to the people,
the hills the fruit of righteousness.
4
He will defend the afflicted among the people
and save the children of the needy;
he will crush the oppressor.
5
He will endure as long as the sun,
as long as the moon, through all generations.
6
He will be like rain falling on a mown field,
like showers watering the earth.
7
In his days the righteous will flourish;
prosperity will abound till the moon is no more.
