Psalms 72

[A Psalm (sacred song about or to God)] for Shlomo (Solomon) [Peace].

1Give the king youri judgments, O God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], and youri righteousness unto the king’s son.

2He shall judge youri people with righteousness, and youri poor with judgment.

3The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness.

4He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor.

5They shall fear youi as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations.

6He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers [that] water the earth.

7In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endures.

8He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.

9They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; and his enemies shall lick the dust.

10The kings of Tarshish [Yellow Jasper] and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheva [Oath; Seven] and S’va [Drink Thou] shall offer gifts.

11Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve him.

12For he shall deliver the needy when he cries; the poor also, and [him] that has no helper.

13He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy.

14He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood be in his sight.

15And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheva [Oath; Seven]: prayer also shall be made for him continually; [and] daily shall he be praised.

16There shall be an handful of corn in the earth upon the top of the mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake like L’vanon [White]: and [they] of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.

17His name shall endure forever: his name shall be continued as long as the sun: and [men] shall be Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) in him: all nations shall call him Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous).

18Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) [be] the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], the God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel of God], who only does wondrous things.

19And Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) [be] his glorious name forever: and let the whole earth be filled [with] his glory; Amen, and Amen.

20The prayers of David [Beloved] the son of Yishai [I possess] are ended.
