Psalms 72:2, 4, 7-8, 11, 17

May he judge your people in righteousness, your afflicted ones with justice.

May he defend the afflicted among the people and save the children of the needy; may he crush the oppressor.

In his days may the righteous flourish and prosperity abound till the moon is no more. May he rule from sea to sea and from the River to the ends of the earth.

May all kings bow down to him and all nations serve him.

May his name endure forever; may it continue as long as the sun. Then all nations will be blessed through him, and they will call him blessed.
