Psalms 72
72
By Solomon.
1 God, give the king your justice;
your righteousness to the royal son.
2 He will judge your people with righteousness,
and your poor with justice.
3 The mountains shall bring prosperity to the people.
The hills bring the fruit of righteousness.
4 He will judge the poor of the people.
He will save the children of the needy,
and will break the oppressor in pieces.
5 They shall fear you while the sun endures;
and as long as the moon, throughout all generations.
6 He will come down like rain on the mown grass,
as showers that water the earth.
7 In his days, the righteous shall flourish,
and abundance of peace, until the moon is no more.
8 He shall have dominion also from sea to sea,
from the River to the ends of the earth.
9Those who dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him.
His enemies shall lick the dust.
10 The kings of Tarshish and of the islands will bring tribute.
The kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
11Yes, all kings shall fall down before him.
All nations shall serve him.
12 For he will deliver the needy when he cries;
the poor, who has no helper.
13 He will have pity on the poor and needy.
He will save the souls of the needy.
14 He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence.
Their blood will be precious in his sight.
15 He will live; and Sheba’s gold will be given to him.
Men will pray for him continually.
They will bless him all day long.
16 Abundance of grain shall be throughout the land.
Its fruit sways like Lebanon.
Let it flourish, thriving like the grass of the field.
17 His name endures forever.
His name continues as long as the sun.
Men shall be blessed by him.
All nations will call him blessed.
18 Praise be to the LORD God, the God of Israel,
who alone does marvellous deeds.
19 Blessed be his glorious name forever!
Let the whole earth be filled with his glory!
Amen and amen.
20 This ends the prayers by David, the son of Jesse.

Tehillim 72
72
(Of Sh'lomo)
1Give HaMelech Thy mishpatim, O Elohim, and Thy tzedakah unto the Ben Melech.
2He shall judge Thy people with tzedek, and Thy poor with mishpat.
3The harim (mountains) shall bear shalom to the people, and geva'ot (hills) in tzedakah.
4He shall judge the poor of the people; yoshia (He shall save) the bnei evyon (children of the needy), and shall break in pieces the oppressor.
5They shall fear Thee as long as the shemesh and yarei'ach endure, dor dorim (throughout all generations).
6He shall come down like matar (rain) upon the mown field, as showers watering eretz.
7In his yamim shall the tzaddik flourish; and abundance of shalom so long as the yarei'ach endureth.
8He#72:8 Moshiach Ben Dovid shall have dominion also from yam to yam, and from nahar (river) unto the afsei eretz (the ends of the earth).
9They that dwell in the desert shall bow before him; and his oyevim (enemies) shall lick the aphar (dust).
10The melachim of Tarshish and of the iyim (islands) shall bring minchah (tribute); the melachim of Sheva and Seva shall offer gifts.
11Kol melachim shall fall down before him;#72:11 Moshiach kol Goyim shall serve him.
12For he shall deliver the evyon (needy) when he crieth; the oni (poor, afflicted) also, and him that hath no ozer (helper).
13He shall pity the weak and evyon (needy), and yoshi'a (he shall save) the nefashot of the evyonim (needy).
14He shall be the Go'el Redeemer of their nefesh from deceit and chamas; and precious shall their dahm be in his sight.
15And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the zahav of Sheva; and prayer shall be for him continually; and daily shall a brocha be made on him.
16There shall be an abundance of grain on ha'aretz upon the top of the harim (mountains); the fruit thereof shall shake#72:16 in the trees like in Levanon; and they of the city shall flourish like esev ha'aretz.
17Shmo (His Name) shall endure l'olam; Shmo shall be continued as long as the shemesh; and men shall be blessed in him; kol Goyim shall call him blessed.
18Baruch Hashem Elohim, Elohei Yisroel, who only doeth nifla'ot (wondrous things).
19And baruch Shem kevodo l'olam (and blessed be His Glorious Name forever); and let the whole earth be filled with His glory. Omein, and Omein.
20The tefillot Dovid Ben Yishai are ended.#72:20 T.N. The next Psalm concerns a revelation received in the Holy Place, namely the fate of the wicked whose prosperity is delusional since the riches of G-dʼs house is wealth they can never attain to, revealing their true eternal poverty. See Ps 73:24 on afterlife in G-dʼs presence.
