Psalm 72
Deus, judicium
1
Give the King thy judgements, O God *
and thy righteousness unto the King’s son.
2
Then shall he judge thy people according unto right *
and defend the poor.
3
The mountains also shall bring peace *
and the little hills righteousness unto the people.
4
He shall keep the simple folk by their right *
defend the children of the poor, and punish the wrong-doer.
5
They shall fear thee, as long as the sun and moon endureth *
from one generation to another.
6
He shall come down like the rain into a fleece of wool *
even as the drops that water the earth.
7
In his time shall the righteous flourish *
yea, and abundance of peace, so long as the moon endureth.
8
His dominion shall be also from the one sea to the other *
and from the flood unto the world’s end.
