Ps 72

OOf Solomon. Endow the king with Your justice, O God, and the son of the king with Your righteousness. (LXX 71:1; Rahlfs 71:1) לִשְׁלֹמֹ֨ה ׀ אֱֽלֹהִ֗ים מִ֭שְׁפָּטֶיךָ לְמֶ֣לֶךְ תֵּ֑ן וְצִדְקָתְךָ֥ לְבֶן־מֶֽלֶךְ׃ 2May he judge Your people with righteousness and Your afflicted with justice. (LXX 71:2; Rahlfs 71:2) יָדִ֣ין עַמְּךָ֣ בְצֶ֑דֶק וַעֲנִיֶּ֥יךָ בְמִשְׁפָּֽט׃ 3May the mountains bring peace to the people, and the hills bring righteousness. (LXX 71:3; Rahlfs 71:3) יִשְׂא֤וּ הָרִ֓ים שָׁ֘ל֥וֹם לָעָ֑ם וּ֝גְבָע֗וֹת בִּצְדָקָֽה׃ 4May he vindicate the afflicted among the people; may he save the children of the needy and crush the oppressor. (LXX 71:4; Rahlfs 71:4) יִשְׁפֹּ֤ט ׀ עֲֽנִיֵּי־עָ֗ם י֭וֹשִׁיעַ לִבְנֵ֣י אֶבְי֑וֹן וִֽידַכֵּ֣א עוֹשֵֽׁק׃ 5May they fear him as long as the sun shines, as long as the moon remains, through all generations. (LXX 71:5; Rahlfs 71:5) יִֽירָא֥וּךָ עִם־שָׁ֑מֶשׁ וְלִפְנֵ֥י יָ֝רֵ֗חַ דּ֣וֹר דּוֹרִֽים׃ 6May he be like rain that falls on freshly cut grass, like spring showers that water the earth. (LXX 71:6; Rahlfs 71:6) יֵ֭רֵד כְּמָטָ֣ר עַל־גֵּ֑ז כִּ֝רְבִיבִ֗ים זַרְזִ֥יף אָֽרֶץ׃ 7May the righteous flourish in his days and prosperity abound until the moon is no more. (LXX 71:7; Rahlfs 71:7) יִֽפְרַח־בְּיָמָ֥יו צַדִּ֑יק וְרֹ֥ב שָׁ֝ל֗וֹם עַד־בְּלִ֥י יָרֵֽחַ׃ 8May he rule from sea to sea, and from the Euphrates to the ends of the earth. (LXX 71:8; Rahlfs 71:8) וְ֭יֵרְדְּ מִיָּ֣ם עַד־יָ֑ם וּ֝מִנָּהָ֗ר עַד־אַפְסֵי־אָֽרֶץ׃ 9May the nomads bow before him, and his enemies lick the dust. (LXX 71:9; Rahlfs 71:9) לְ֭פָנָיו יִכְרְע֣וּ צִיִּ֑ים וְ֝אֹיְבָ֗יו עָפָ֥ר יְלַחֵֽכוּ׃ 10May the kings of Tarshish and distant shores bring tribute; may the kings of Sheba and Seba offer gifts. (LXX 71:10; Rahlfs 71:10) מַלְכֵ֬י תַרְשִׁ֣ישׁ וְ֭אִיִּים מִנְחָ֣ה יָשִׁ֑יבוּ מַלְכֵ֥י שְׁבָ֥א וּ֝סְבָ֗א אֶשְׁכָּ֥ר יַקְרִֽיבוּ׃ 11May all kings bow down to him and all nations serve him. (LXX 71:11; Rahlfs 71:11) וְיִשְׁתַּחֲווּ־ל֥וֹ כָל־מְלָכִ֑ים כָּל־גּוֹיִ֥ם יַֽעַבְדֽוּהוּ׃ 12For he will deliver the needy who cry out and the afflicted who have no helper. (LXX 71:12; Rahlfs 71:12) כִּֽי־יַ֭צִּיל אֶבְי֣וֹן מְשַׁוֵּ֑עַ וְ֝עָנִ֗י וְֽאֵין־עֹזֵ֥ר לֽוֹ׃ 13He will take pity on the poor and needy and save the lives of the oppressed. (LXX 71:13; Rahlfs 71:13) יָ֭חֹס עַל־דַּ֣ל וְאֶבְי֑וֹן וְנַפְשׁ֖וֹת אֶבְיוֹנִ֣ים יוֹשִֽׁיעַ׃ 14He will redeem them from oppression and violence, for their blood is precious in his sight. (LXX 71:14; Rahlfs 71:14) מִתּ֣וֹךְ וּ֭מֵחָמָס יִגְאַ֣ל נַפְשָׁ֑ם וְיֵיקַ֖ר דָּמָ֣ם בְּעֵינָֽיו׃ 15Long may he live! May gold from Sheba be given him. May people ever pray for him; may they bless him all day long. (LXX 71:15; Rahlfs 71:15) וִיחִ֗י וְיִתֶּן־לוֹ֮ מִזְּהַ֪ב שְׁ֫בָ֥א וְיִתְפַּלֵּ֣ל בַּעֲד֣וֹ תָמִ֑יד כָּל־הַ֝יּ֗וֹם יְבָרֲכֶֽנְהֽוּ׃ 16May there be an abundance of grain in the land; may it sway atop the hills. May its fruit trees flourish like the forests of Lebanon, the people of its cities like the grass of the field. (LXX 71:16; Rahlfs 71:16) יְהִ֤י פִסַּת־בַּ֨ר ׀ בָּאָרֶץ֮ בְּרֹ֪אשׁ הָ֫רִ֥ים יִרְעַ֣שׁ כַּלְּבָנ֣וֹן פִּרְי֑וֹ וְיָצִ֥יצוּ מֵ֝עִ֗יר כְּעֵ֣שֶׂב הָאָֽרֶץ׃ 17May his name endure forever; may his name continue as long as the sun shines. In him may all nations be blessed; may they call him blessed. (LXX 71:17; Rahlfs 71:17) יְהִ֤י שְׁמ֨וֹ לְֽעוֹלָ֗ם לִפְנֵי־שֶׁמֶשׁ֮ ינין שְׁ֫מ֥וֹ וְיִתְבָּ֥רְכוּ ב֑וֹ כָּל־גּוֹיִ֥ם יְאַשְּׁרֽוּהוּ׃ 18Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, who alone does marvelous deeds. (LXX 71:18; Rahlfs 71:18) בָּר֤וּךְ ׀ יְהוָ֣ה אֱ֭לֹהִים אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל עֹשֵׂ֖ה נִפְלָא֣וֹת לְבַדּֽוֹ׃ 19And blessed be His glorious name forever; may all the earth be filled with His glory. Amen and amen. (LXX 71:19; Rahlfs 71:19) וּבָר֤וּךְ ׀ שֵׁ֥ם כְּבוֹד֗וֹ לְע֫וֹלָ֥ם וְיִמָּלֵ֣א כְ֭בוֹדוֹ אֶת־כֹּ֥ל הָאָ֗רֶץ אָ֘מֵ֥ן ׀ וְאָמֵֽן׃ 20Thus conclude the prayers of David son of Jesse. (LXX 71:20; Rahlfs 71:20) כָּלּ֥וּ תְפִלּ֑וֹת דָּ֝וִ֗ד בֶּן־יִשָֽׁי׃
