- 0:03Speaker 1: Psalm seventy two by Solomon, God, give the King your justice,
- 0:09Speaker 1: your righteousness to the royal sun. He will judge your
- 0:13Speaker 1: people with righteousness, and your people with justice. The mountains
- 0:17Speaker 1: shall bring prosperity to the people, the hills bring the
- 0:20Speaker 1: fruit of righteousness. He will judge the poor of the people.
- 0:24Speaker 1: He will save the children of the needy, and will
- 0:26Speaker 1: break the oppressor in pieces. They shall fear you. While
- 0:30Speaker 1: the sun endures, and as long as the moon, throughout
- 0:32Speaker 1: all generations, he will come down like rain on the
- 0:36Speaker 1: moan grass, as showers that water the earth. In his days,
- 0:40Speaker 1: the righteous shall flourish and abundance of peace, until the
- 0:44Speaker 1: moon is no more. He shall have dominion also from
- 0:47Speaker 1: sea to sea, from the river to the ends of
- 0:50Speaker 1: the earth. Those who dwell in the wilderness shall bow
- 0:53Speaker 1: before him. His enemy shall lick the dust. The kings
- 0:57Speaker 1: of Tarsish and of the isles will bring tribute. The
- 1:00Speaker 1: kings of Sheba and Siba shall offer gifts. Yes, all
- 1:03Speaker 1: kings shall fall down before him. All nations shall serve him,
- 1:08Speaker 1: for he will deliver the needy. When he cries the
- 1:10Speaker 1: poor who has no helper, he will have pity on
- 1:14Speaker 1: the poor and needy. He will save the souls of
- 1:16Speaker 1: the needy. He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence.
- 1:20Speaker 1: Their blood will be precious in his sight. They shall live,
- 1:24Speaker 1: and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba.
- 1:27Speaker 1: Men shall pray for him continually. They shall bless him
- 1:31Speaker 1: all day long. There shall be abundance of grain throughout
- 1:34Speaker 1: the land. Its fruit sways like Lebanon. Let it flourish,
- 1:38Speaker 1: thriving like the grass of the field. His name endures forever.
- 1:43Speaker 1: His name continues as long as the sun. Men shall
- 1:46Speaker 1: be blessed by him. All nations will call him blessed.
- 1:50Speaker 1: Praise be to Yahweh, God, the God of Israel, who
- 1:53Speaker 1: alone does marvelous deeds. Blessed be his glorious name. Forever.
- 1:58Speaker 1: Let the whole earth be filled with his glory. Amen
- 2:01Speaker 1: and Amen. This ends the prayers by David, the son
- 2:05Speaker 1: of Jesse.
