Psalm 72
Tree of Life Version
A Powerful King for the Poor
Psalm 72
1 Of Solomon.
Give the king Your judgments, O God,
and Your righteousness to the king’s son.
2 May he judge Your people with righteousness,
and Your poor ones with justice.
3 Let the mountains bring shalom to the people,
and the hills righteousness.
4 May he vindicate the poor of the people,
save the children of the needy,
and crush the oppressor.
5 Let them fear You while the sun endures,
and while the moon lasts, throughout all generations.
6 May he be like rain falling on a mown field,
like showers watering the ground.
7 Let the righteous flourish in his days.
Let shalom abound till the moon is no more.
8 May he have dominion from sea to sea,
and from the River to the ends of the earth.
9 Let desert dwellers bow before him,
and his enemies lick the dust.
10 May kings of Tarshish and the islands bring tribute,
kings of Sheba and Seba offer gifts.
11 So let all kings bow down before him,
and all nations serve him.
12 For he rescues the needy crying for help,
also the poor and the one with no helper.
13 He will take pity on the poor and needy,
and the souls of the needy he will save.
14 From oppression and violence he redeems their soul,
for precious is their blood in his sight.
15 Long may he live!
May gold from Sheba be given to him.
May he pray for him continually,
and bless him all day.
16 Let there be abundance of grain in the land.
Let it sway on the top of the hills,
let its fruit be like Lebanon,
and let people of the city flourish like grass of the field.
17 May his name endure forever.
May his name increase before the sun,
and may all nations be blessed by him
and call him blessed.
18 Blessed be Adonai Elohim, God of Israel,
who alone does wonders.
19 Blessed be His glorious Name forever.
May all the earth be filled with His glory!
Amen and Amen!
20 The prayers of David son of Jesse are complete.
Salmos 72
Biblia del Jubileo
Para Salomón.
1 Oh Dios, da tus juicios al rey, y tu justicia al hijo del rey.
2 ¶ El juzgará tu pueblo con justicia, y tus pobres con juicio.
3 Los montes llevarán paz al pueblo, y los collados, por justicia.
4 Juzgará los pobres del pueblo, salvará los hijos del menesteroso, y quebrantará al violento.
5 Te temerán con el sol y antes de la luna, por generación de generaciones.
6 Descenderá como la lluvia sobre el pasto cortado; como el rocío que destila sobre la tierra.
7 Florecerá en sus días justicia, y muchedumbre de paz, hasta que no haya luna.
8 Y dominará de mar a mar, y desde el río hasta los confines de la tierra.
9 Delante de él se postrarán los etíopes; y sus enemigos lamerán la tierra.
10 Los reyes de Tarsis y de las islas traerán presentes; los reyes de Sabá y de Seba ofrecerán dones.
11 Y se arrodillarán a él todos los reyes; le servirán todos los gentiles.
12 Porque él librará al menesteroso que clamare, y al pobre que no tuviere quién le socorra.
13 Tendrá misericordia del pobre y del menesteroso, y salvará las almas de los pobres en espíritu.
14 De engaño y de fraude redimirá sus almas; y la sangre de ellos será preciosa en sus ojos.
15 Y vivirá, y se le dará del oro de Sabá; y se orará por él continuamente; cada día le echará bendiciones.
16 Será echado un puño de grano en tierra, en las cumbres de los montes; su fruto hará estruendo como el Líbano, y desde la ciudad reverdecerán como la hierba de la tierra.
17 Será su Nombre para siempre, delante del sol será propagado su Nombre; y bendecirán en él todos los gentiles; lo llamarán bienaventurado.
18 ¶ Bendito el SEÑOR Dios, el Dios de Israel, el único que hace maravillas.
19 Y bendito su Nombre glorioso para siempre; y toda la tierra sea llena de su gloria. Amén y Amén.
20 Aquí terminan las oraciones de David, hijo de Jessé.
Psalm 72
American Standard Version
The reign of the righteous king.
A Psalm of Solomon.
72 Give the king thy judgments, O God,
And thy righteousness unto the king’s son.
2 [a]He will judge thy people with righteousness,
And thy poor with justice.
3 The mountains shall bring peace to the people,
And the hills, in righteousness.
4 He will judge the poor of the people,
He will save the children of the needy,
And will break in pieces the oppressor.
5 They shall fear thee while the sun endureth,
And [b]so long as the moon, throughout all generations.
6 He will come down like rain upon the mown grass,
As showers that water the earth.
7 In his days shall the righteous flourish,
And abundance of peace, till the moon be no more.
8 He shall have dominion also from sea to sea,
And from the River unto the ends of the earth.
9 They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him;
And his enemies shall lick the dust.
10 The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall render tribute:
The kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
11 Yea, all kings shall fall down before him;
All nations shall serve him.
12 For he will deliver the needy when he crieth,
And the poor, [c]that hath no helper.
13 He will have pity on the [d]poor and needy,
And the souls of the needy he will save.
14 He will redeem their soul from [e]oppression and violence;
And precious will their blood be in his sight:
15 And [f]they shall live; and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba:
And men shall pray for him continually;
They shall bless him all the day long.
16 There shall be [g]abundance of grain in the [h]earth upon the top of the mountains;
The fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon:
And they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.
17 His name shall endure for ever;
His name shall [i]be continued [j]as long as the sun:
And men shall [k]be blessed in him;
All nations shall call him happy.
18 Blessed be Jehovah God, the God of Israel,
Who only doeth wondrous things:
19 And blessed be his glorious name for ever;
And let the whole earth be filled with his glory.
Amen, and Amen.
20 The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
