Psalm 72 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

[fn]May [fn]he judge ^H1777 Your people ^H5971 with righteousness ^H6664

And [fn]Your afflicted ^H6041 with justice ^H4941.

[fn]May the mountains ^H2022 bring ^H5375 [fn]peace ^H7965 to the people ^H5971,

And the hills ^H1389, in righteousness ^H6666.

[fn]May he vindicate ^H8199 the [fn]afflicted ^H6041 of the people ^H5971,

Save ^H3467 the children ^H1121 of the needy ^H34,

And crush ^H1792 the oppressor ^H6231.

[fn]May they fear ^H3372 You while ^H5973 the sun ^H8121 shines,

And [fn]as long ^H6440 as the moon ^H3394 shines, throughout all ^H1755 generations ^H1755.

[fn]May he come ^H3381 down ^H3381 like rain ^H4306 upon the mown ^H1488 grass,

Like showers ^H7241 that water ^H2222 the earth ^H776.

[fn]May the righteous ^H6662 flourish ^H6524 in his days ^H3117,

As well as an abundance ^H7230 of peace ^H7965, until ^H5704 the moon ^H3394 is no ^H1097 more ^H1097.

May he also rule ^H7287 from sea ^H3220 to sea ^H3220,

And from the Euphrates River ^H5104 to the ends ^H657 of the earth ^H776.

[fn]May the nomads ^H6728 of ^H6728 the ^H6728 desert ^H6728 bow ^H3766 before ^H6440 him,

And his enemies ^H340 lick ^H3897 the dust ^H6083.

[fn]May the kings ^H4428 of Tarshish ^H8659 and of the [fn]islands ^H339 bring ^H7725 gifts ^H7725;

May the kings ^H4428 of Sheba ^H7614 and Seba ^H5434 offer ^H7126 tributes ^H814.

[fn]And may all ^H3605 kings ^H4428 bow ^H2331 down ^H2331 before him,

All ^H3605 nations ^H1471 serve ^H5647 him.

For he will save ^H5337 the needy ^H34 when he cries ^H7768 for ^H7768 help ^H7768,

The [fn]afflicted ^H6041 also, and him who has ^H369 no ^H369 helper ^H5826.

He will have ^H2347 compassion ^H2347 on the poor ^H1800 and needy ^H34,

And he will save ^H3467 the [fn]lives ^H5315 of the needy ^H34.

He will [fn]rescue ^H1350 their [fn]life ^H5315 from oppression ^H8496 and violence ^H2555,

And their blood ^H1818 will be ^H3365 precious ^H3365 in his sight ^H5869;

So may he live ^H2421, and may the gold ^H2091 of Sheba ^H7614 be given ^H5414 to him;

And [fn]they are to pray ^H6419 for him continually ^H8548;

[fn]They are to bless ^H1288 him all ^H3605 day ^H3117 long.

May there be abundance ^H6451 of grain ^H1250 on the earth ^H776 on top ^H7218 of the mountains ^H2022;

Its fruit ^H6529 will wave ^H7493 like the cedars of Lebanon ^H3844;

And may those from the city ^H5892 flourish ^H6692 like the vegetation ^H6212 of the earth ^H776.

May his name ^H8034 endure ^H1961 forever ^H5769;

May his name ^H8034 produce ^H5125 descendants ^H5125 [fn]as long ^H6440 as the sun ^H8121 shines;

And may people wish ^H1288 blessings ^H1288 on themselves by him;

May all ^H3605 nations ^H1471 call ^H833 him blessed ^H833.

Blessed ^H1288 be the LORD ^H3068 God ^H430, the God ^H430 of Israel ^H3478,

Who alone ^H905 works ^H6213 wonders ^H6381.

And blessed ^H1288 be His glorious ^H3519 name ^H8034 forever ^H5769;

And may the whole ^H3605 earth ^H776 be filled ^H4390 with His glory ^H3519.

Amen ^H543 and Amen ^H543.

The prayers ^H8605 of David ^H1732 the son ^H1121 of Jesse ^H3448 are ended ^H3615.
