== Tehillim (Book of Psalms), Chapter 72 ==

<named id="1"/>1 A Psalm of Solomon. Give the king Thy judgments, O G-d, and Thy righteousness unto the king's son;

<named id="2"/>2 That he may judge Thy people with righteousness, and Thy poor with justice.

<named id="3"/>3 Let the mountains bear peace to the people, and the hills, through righteousness.

<named id="4"/>4 May he judge the poor of the people, and save the children of the needy, and crush the oppressor.

<named id="5"/>5 They shall fear Thee while the sun endureth, and so long as the moon, throughout all generations.

<named id="6"/>6 May he come down like rain upon the mown grass, as showers that water the earth.

<named id="7"/>7 In his days let the righteous flourish, and abundance of peace, till the moon be no more.

<named id="8"/>8 May he have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the River unto the ends of the earth.

<named id="9"/>9 Let them that dwell in the wilderness bow before him; and his enemies lick the dust.

<named id="10"/>10 The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall render tribute; the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.

<named id="11"/>11 Yea, all kings shall prostrate themselves before him; all nations shall serve him.

<named id="12"/>12 For he will deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper.

<named id="13"/>13 He will have pity on the poor and needy, and the souls of the needy he will save.

<named id="14"/>14 He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence, and precious will their blood be in his sight.

<named id="15"/>15 That they may live, and that he may give them of the gold of Sheba, that they may pray for him continually, yea, bless him all the day.

<named id="16"/>16 May he be as a rich cornfield in the land upon the top of the mountains; may his fruit rustle like Lebanon; and may they blossom out of the city like grass of the earth.

<named id="17"/>17 May his name endure for ever; may his name be continued as long as the sun; may men also bless themselves by him; may all nations call him happy.

<named id="18"/>18 Blessed be HaShem G-d, the G-d of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things;

<named id="19"/>19 And blessed be His glorious name for ever; and let the whole earth be filled with His glory. Amen, and Amen.

<named id="20"/>20 The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended. BOOK III
