Psalm 72
English Standard Version
Give the King Your Justice
Of (A)Solomon.
72 Give the king your (B)justice, O God,
and your righteousness to the royal son!
2 May he (C)judge your people with righteousness,
and your poor with justice!
3 Let the mountains bear (D)prosperity for the people,
and the hills, in righteousness!
4 May he defend the cause of the poor of the people,
give deliverance to the children of the needy,
and crush the oppressor!
5 May they fear you[a] while (E)the sun endures,
and as long as the moon, (F)throughout all generations!
6 May he be like (G)rain that falls on (H)the mown grass,
like (I)showers that water the earth!
7 In his days may (J)the righteous flourish,
and (K)peace abound, till the moon be no more!
8 May he have dominion from (L)sea to sea,
and from (M)the River[b] to the (N)ends of the earth!
9 May desert tribes (O)bow down before him,
and his enemies (P)lick the dust!
10 May the kings of (Q)Tarshish and of (R)the coastlands
render him (S)tribute;
may the kings of (T)Sheba and (U)Seba
bring gifts!
11 May all kings (V)fall down before him,
all nations serve him!
12 For he delivers (W)the needy when he calls,
the poor and him who has no helper.
13 He has pity on the weak and the needy,
and saves the lives of the needy.
14 From oppression and violence he redeems their life,
and (X)precious is their blood in his sight.
15 Long may he live;
may (Y)gold of Sheba be given to him!
May prayer be made (Z)for him continually,
and blessings invoked for him all the day!
16 May there be abundance of grain in the land;
on the tops of the mountains may it wave;
may its fruit be like Lebanon;
and may people (AA)blossom in the cities
like the (AB)grass of the field!
17 (AC)May his name endure forever,
his fame continue as long as the sun!
(AD)May people be blessed in him,
(AE)all nations call him blessed!
18 (AF)Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,
who alone does (AG)wondrous things.
19 Blessed be his (AH)glorious name forever;
may (AI)the whole earth be filled with his glory!
(AJ)Amen and Amen!

诗篇 72
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
祈願王公正仁慈的治理永存
所羅門的詩。
72 神啊！求你把你的公正賜給王，
把你的公義賜給王子。（本節在《馬索拉文本》包括細字標題）
2 他要按著公義審判你的子民，
憑著公正審判你的困苦人。
3 因著公義，
願大山和小山都給人民帶來和平。
4 他必為民間的困苦人伸冤，
拯救貧窮人，
粉碎那欺壓人的。
5 他必像日月一般長久，
直到萬代（按照《馬索拉文本》，本節應作“日月還在的時候，願人都敬畏你，直到萬代”；現參照《七十士譯本》翻譯）。
6 他必像雨降在已割的草地上，
像甘霖滋潤大地。
7 他在世的日子，義人必興旺，
四境太平，直到月亮不再重現。
8 他要執掌權柄，從這海到那海，
從大河直到地極。
9 住在曠野的人必向他屈身，
他的仇敵必舔塵土。
10 他施和海島的列王都必帶來禮物，
示巴和西巴的列王都必獻上貢物。
11 眾王都必向他俯伏，
萬國都必服事他。
12 因為貧窮人呼求的時候，他就搭救；
沒有人幫助的困苦人，他也搭救。
13 他必憐恤軟弱和貧窮的人，
拯救貧窮人的性命。
14 他要救他們脫離欺凌和強暴，
他們的血在他眼中看為寶貴。
15 願他長久活著，
願人把示巴的金子奉給他，
願人為他不住禱告，
終日給他祝福。
16 願地上五穀豐登，
山頂上也都豐收；
願地上的果實茂盛，像黎巴嫩山的樹林，
願城裡的人繁衍，好像地上的青草。
17 願他的名永遠常存，
願他的名延續像太陽的恆久；
願萬人都因他蒙福，
願萬國都稱他為有福的。
18 獨行奇事的以色列的 神，
就是耶和華 神，是應當稱頌的。
19 他榮耀的名也是應當永遠稱頌的；
願他的榮耀充滿全地。
阿們，阿們。
20 耶西的兒子大衛的禱告完畢。
