engLXXup: Psalms 71

=> Chapters

 [1] For Solomon.

O God, give thy judgment to the king,

And thy righteousness to the king’s son;

[2] That he may judge thy people with righteousness,

And thy poor with judgment.

[3] Let the mountains and the hills raise peace to thy people:

[4] He shall judge the poor of the people in righteousness,

And save the children of the needy;

And shall bring low the false accuser.

[5] And he shall continue as long as the sun,

And before the moon forever.

[6] He shall come down as rain upon a fleece;

And as drops falling upon the earth.

[7] In his days shall righteousness spring up;

And abundance of peace till the moon be removed.

[8] And he shall have dominion from sea to sea,

And from the river to the ends of the earth.

[9] The Ethiopians shall fall down before him;

And his enemies shall lick the dust.

[10] The kings of Tarshish, and the isles, shall bring presents:

The kings of the Arabians and Seba shall offer gifts.

[11] And all kings shall worship him;

All the Gentiles shall serve him.

[12] For he has delivered the poor from the oppressor;

And the needy who had no helper.

[13] He shall spare the poor and needy,

And shall deliver the souls of the needy.

[14] He shall redeem their souls from usury and injustice:

And their name shall be precious before him.

[15] And he shall live, and there shall be given him of the gold of Arabia:

And men shall pray for him continually;

And all the day shall they praise him.

[16] There shall be an establishment on the earth on the tops of the mountains:

The fruit thereof shall be exalted above Lebanon,

And they of the city shall flourish as grass of the earth.

[17] Let his name be blessed forever:

His name shall endure longer than the sun:

And all the tribes of the earth shall be blessed in him:

All nations shall call him blessed.

[18] Blessed is the Lord God of Israel, who alone does wonders.

[19] And blessed is his glorious name forever, even forever and ever:

And all the earth shall be filled with his glory.

So be it, so be it.

 [20] The hymns of David the son of Jesse are ended.
