Psalm 72:1-7Common English Bible (CEB)

Psalm 72

Of Solomon.

72 God, give your judgments to the king.
    Give your righteousness to the king’s son.
2 Let him judge your people with righteousness
    and your poor ones with justice.
3 Let the mountains bring peace to the people;
    let the hills bring righteousness.
4 Let the king bring justice to people who are poor;
    let him save the children of those who are needy,
        but let him crush oppressors!
5 Let the king live[a] as long as the sun,
    as long as the moon,
        generation to generation.
6 Let him fall like rain upon fresh-cut grass,
    like showers that water the earth.
7 Let the righteous flourish throughout their lives,
    and let peace prosper until the moon is no more.
