Psalms 72:1-7, 11, 17-20

O God, give the king your justice and the king’s son  your righteousness so that he may judge your people with righteousness and your oppressed ⌞people⌟ with justice. May the mountains bring peace to the people and the hills bring righteousness. May he grant justice to the people who are oppressed. May he save the children of needy people and crush their oppressor. May they fear you as long as the sun and moon ⌞shine⌟— throughout every generation. May he be like rain that falls on ⌞freshly⌟ cut grass, like showers that water the land. May righteous people blossom in his day. May there be unlimited peace until the moon no longer ⌞shines⌟.

May all kings worship him. May all nations serve him.

May his name endure forever. May his name continue as long as the sun ⌞shines⌟. May all nations be blessed through him and call him blessed. Thank the LORD God, the God of Israel, who alone does miracles. Thanks be to his glorious name forever. May the whole earth be filled with his glory. Amen and amen! The prayers by David, son of Jesse, end here.
