1Endow the king with Your justice, O God,
2May he judge Your people with righteousness
3May the mountains bring peace to the people,
4May he vindicate the afflicted among the people;
5May they fear him 72:5 LXX He shall endure as long as the sun shines,
6May he be like rain that falls on freshly cut grass,
7May the righteous flourish in his days
8May he rule from sea to sea,
9May the nomads bow before him,
10May the kings of Tarshish and distant shores bring tribute;
11May all kings bow down to him
12For he will deliver the needy who cry out
13He will take pity on the poor and needy
14He will redeem them from oppression and violence,
15Long may he live!
16May there be an abundance of grain in the land;
17May his name endure forever;
18Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel,
19And blessed be His glorious name forever;
20Thus conclude the prayers of David son of Jesse.
