72 Psalmus Asaph. Quam bonus Israel Deus, his qui recto sunt corde!
2 Mei autem pene moti sunt pedes, pene effusi sunt gressus mei:
3 quia zelavi super iniquos, pacem peccatorum videns.
4 Quia non est respectus morti eorum, et firmamentum in plaga eorum.
5 In labore hominum non sunt, et cum hominibus non flagellabuntur.
6 Ideo tenuit eos superbia; operti sunt iniquitate et impietate sua.
7 Prodiit quasi ex adipe iniquitas eorum; transierunt in affectum cordis.
8 Cogitaverunt et locuti sunt nequitiam; iniquitatem in excelso locuti sunt.
9 Posuerunt in caelum os suum, et lingua eorum transivit in terra.
10 Ideo convertetur populus meus hic, et dies pleni invenientur in eis.
11 Et dixerunt: Quomodo scit Deus, et si est scientia in excelso?
12 Ecce ipsi peccatores, et abundantes in saeculo obtinuerunt divitias.
13 Et dixi: Ergo sine causa justificavi cor meum, et lavi inter innocentes manus meas,
14 et fui flagellatus tota die, et castigatio mea in matutinis.
15 Si dicebam: Narrabo sic; ecce nationem filiorum tuorum reprobavi.
16 Existimabam ut cognoscerem hoc; labor est ante me:
17 donec intrem in sanctuarium Dei, et intelligam in novissimis eorum.
18 Verumtamen propter dolos posuisti eis; dejecisti eos dum allevarentur.
19 Quomodo facti sunt in desolationem? subito defecerunt: perierunt propter iniquitatem suam.
20 Velut somnium surgentium, Domine, in civitate tua imaginem ipsorum ad nihilum rediges.
21 Quia inflammatum est cor meum, et renes mei commutati sunt;
22 et ego ad nihilum redactus sum, et nescivi:
23 ut jumentum factus sum apud te, et ego semper tecum.
24 Tenuisti manum dexteram meam, et in voluntate tua deduxisti me, et cum gloria suscepisti me.
25 Quid enim mihi est in caelo? et a te quid volui super terram?
26 Defecit caro mea et cor meum; Deus cordis mei, et pars mea, Deus in aeternum.
27 Quia ecce qui elongant se a te peribunt; perdidisti omnes qui fornicantur abs te.
28 Mihi autem adhaerere Deo bonum est; ponere in Domino Deo spem meam: ut annuntiem omnes praedicationes tuas in portis filiae Sion.

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)

Psalm 72
King James Version
72 Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the king's son.
2 He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment.
3 The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness.
4 He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor.
5 They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations.
6 He shall 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 so long as the moon endureth.
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 bring presents: 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 shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper.
13 He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy.
14 He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood be in his sight.
15 And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: prayer also shall be made for him continually; and daily shall he be praised.
16 There shall be an handful of corn in the 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 be continued as long as the sun: and men shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him blessed.
18 Blessed be the Lord 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.
