Psalms 72:1-13 ▼

1 Of Solomon. O God geue vnto the kyng thy iudgementes: and thy ryghteousnesse vnto the kynges sonne.

2 Then he wyll iudge thy people accordyng vnto iustice: and thy afflicted accordyng to equitie.

3 The mountaynes also and hylles: shall bryng peace to the people by the meanes of ryghteousnesse.

4 He wyll iudge the afflicted amongst the people: he wyll saue the children of the poore, and subdue the oppressour.

5 They wyll feare thee as long as the sunne and moone shyneth: from one generation to another.

6 He wyll come downe lyke the rayne into a fleece of wooll: euen as the droppes that water the earth.

7 In his dayes the ryghteous wyll florishe: and there shalbe aboundaunce of peace so long as the moone endureth.

8 His dominion also shalbe from the one sea to the other: and from the fludde vnto the ende of the earth.

9 They that dwell in the wildernesse shal kneele before him: his enemies shal licke the dust.

10 The kyng of Tharsis and of the Iles shall offer presentes: the kynges of Sheba & Seba shall bring giftes.

11 All kynges wyll worshyp hym: all nations wyll do hym seruice.

12 For he wyll delyuer the poore when he cryeth: and the afflicted and hym that hath no helper.

13 He wyll haue compassion vpon the poore and needy: and he wyll preserue the soules of the poore.
