Psalms 72:2-17

2He shall judgeH1777 thy peopleH5971 with righteousnessH6664, and thy poorH6041 with judgmentH4941.

3The mountainsH2022 shall bringH5375 peaceH7965 to the peopleH5971, and the hillsH1389, in righteousnessH6666.

4He shall judgeH8199 the poorH6041 of the peopleH5971, he shall saveH3467 the childrenH1121 of the needyH34, and shall break in pieces the oppressorH6231.

5They shall fearH3372 thee whileH5973 the sunH8121 endureth, and soH6440 longH6440 as the moonH3394, throughoutH1755 allH1755 generationsH1755.

6He shall comeH3381 downH3381 like rainH4306 uponH5921 the mownH1488 grass: as showersH7241 that waterH2222 the earthH776.

7In his daysH3117 shall the righteousH6662 flourish; and abundanceH7230 of peaceH7965, tillH5704 the moonH3394 be noH1097 moreH7230.

8He shall have dominionH7287 also from seaH3220 to seaH3220, and from the RiverH5104 unto the endsH657 of the earthH776.

9They that dwell in the wilderness shall bowH3766 beforeH6440 him; and his enemiesH341 shall lickH3897 the dustH6083.

10The kingsH4428 of TarshishH8659 and of the islesH339 shall bringH7725 presentsH7126: the kingsH4428 of ShebaH7614 and SebaH5434 shall offerH7126 giftsH4503.

11Yea, allH3605 kingsH4428 shall fall downH7812 before him: allH3605 nationsH1471 shall serveH5647 him.

12For he shall deliverH5337 the needyH34 when he crieth; and the poorH6041, that hath noH369 helperH5826.

13He shall have pityH2347 on the poorH34 and needyH34, and the soulsH5315 of the needyH34 he shall saveH3467.

14He shall redeemH1350 their soulH5315 from oppressionH8496 and violenceH2555; and preciousH3365 shall their bloodH1818 be in his sightH5869:

15And they shall liveH2421; and to him shall be givenH5414 of the goldH2091 of ShebaH7614: and menH3605 shall prayH6419 for him continuallyH8548; they shall blessH1288 him allH3605 the dayH3117 longH3117.

16There shall be abundanceH6451 of corn in the earthH776 uponH1961 the topH7218 of the mountainsH2022; the fruitH6529 thereof shall shakeH7493 like LebanonH3844: and they of the cityH5892 shall flourishH6692 like grassH6212 of the earthH776.

17His nameH8034 shall endureH1961 for everH5769; his nameH8034 shall be continuedH1961 as longH5769 as the sunH8121: and menH3605 shall be blessedH1288 in him; allH3605 nationsH1471 shall callH833 him happyH833.
