Psalm 72
Of Solomon.
1 Endow the king with your justice,(A) O God,
the royal son with your righteousness.
2 May he judge your people in righteousness,(B)
your afflicted ones with justice.
3 May the mountains bring prosperity to the people,
the hills the fruit of righteousness.
4 May he defend the afflicted(C) among the people
and save the children of the needy;(D)
may he crush the oppressor.(E)
5 May he endure[a](F) as long as the sun,
as long as the moon, through all generations.(G)
6 May he be like rain(H) falling on a mown field,
like showers watering the earth.
7 In his days may the righteous flourish(I)
and prosperity abound till the moon is no more.
8 May he rule from sea to sea
and from the River[b](J) to the ends of the earth.(K)
9 May the desert tribes bow before him
and his enemies lick the dust.
10 May the kings of Tarshish(L) and of distant shores(M)
bring tribute to him.
May the kings of Sheba(N) and Seba
present him gifts.(O)
11 May all kings bow down(P) to him
and all nations serve(Q) him.
12 For he will deliver the needy who cry out,
the afflicted who have no one to help.
13 He will take pity(R) on the weak and the needy
and save the needy from death.
14 He will rescue(S) them from oppression and violence,
for precious(T) is their blood in his sight.
15 Long may he live!
May gold from Sheba(U) be given him.
May people ever pray for him
and bless him all day long.(V)
16 May grain(W) abound throughout the land;
on the tops of the hills may it sway.
May the crops(X) flourish like Lebanon(Y)
and thrive[c] like the grass of the field.(Z)
17 May his name endure forever;(AA)
may it continue as long as the sun.(AB)
18 Praise be to the Lord God, the God of Israel,(AD)
who alone does marvelous deeds.(AE)
19 Praise be to his glorious name(AF) forever;
may the whole earth be filled with his glory.(AG)
Amen and Amen.(AH)
20 This concludes the prayers of David son of Jesse.(AI)

Oração em favor do rei
De Salomão.
72 Ó Deus, ensina o rei a julgar
de acordo com a tua justiça!
Dá-lhe a tua justiça
2 para que governe o teu povo
com honestidade
e trate com justiça os explorados.
3 Que haja prosperidade no país,
pois o povo faz o que é direito!
4 Que o rei julgue os pobres
honestamente!
Que ele ajude os necessitados
e derrote os que exploram o povo!
5 Que o rei viva enquanto o sol durar
e a lua existir,
por gerações sem fim!
6 Que o rei seja como a chuva
que cai sobre os campos,
como os aguaceiros que regam a terra!
7 Que a justiça floresça
durante a sua vida,
e que haja prosperidade
enquanto a lua brilhar!
8 O seu reino irá de um mar a outro
e desde o rio Eufrates
até os fins da terra.
9 Os povos do deserto se curvarão
diante dele,
e os seus inimigos se humilharão
aos seus pés.
10 Os reis da Espanha e das ilhas
lhe oferecerão presentes,
e assim também os reis
da Arábia e da Etiópia.
11 Todos os reis se curvarão diante dele,
e todas as nações lhe obedecerão.
12 O rei ajuda os pobres
que lhe pedem socorro;
ele ajuda os necessitados
e os abandonados.
13 Ele tem pena dos fracos
e dos necessitados
e salva a vida
dos que precisam de auxílio.
14 Ele os livra da exploração
e da violência;
a vida deles é preciosa para ele.
15 Viva o rei!
Que ele receba ouro da Arábia!
Que todos os dias sejam feitas
orações em favor dele,
e que Deus sempre o abençoe!
16 Que no país haja fartura de cereais!
Que os montes fiquem cobertos
de colheitas
e produzam tanto
quanto os montes Líbanos!
Que as cidades fiquem cheias de gente
como o capim cobre os campos!
17 Que o nome do rei
nunca seja esquecido,
e que a sua fama dure
enquanto o sol existir!
Que todos os povos peçam
que Deus os abençoe
assim como ele tem abençoado o rei!
18 Louvem o Senhor, o Deus de Israel,
pois é ele quem faz
essas coisas maravilhosas.
19 Louvem para sempre
o seu nome glorioso,
e que a sua glória
encha o mundo inteiro!
Amém! Amém!
20 Aqui terminam as orações de Davi,
filho de Jessé.
