Psalms 72

lishlomoh elohim mishpatekha lemelekh ten vetsidqatekha leven-melekh

Of Solomon. O God, endow the king with Your judgments, the king’s son with Your righteousness;

yadin ammekha vetsedeq va'aniyyekha vemishpat

that he may judge Your people rightly, Your lowly ones, justly.

yisu harim shalom la'am ugeva'ot bitsdaqah

Let the mountains produce well-being for the people, the hills, the reward of justice.

yishpot aniyye-am yoshia livne evyon vidakke osheq

Let him champion the lowly among the people, deliver the needy folk, and crush those who wrong them.

yira'ukha im-shamesh velifne yareakh dor dorim

Let them fear You as long as the sun shines, while the moon lasts, generations on end.

yered kematar al-gez kirvivim zarzif arets

Let him be like rain that falls on a mown field, like a downpour of rain on the ground,

yifrakh-beyamayw tsaddiq verov shalom ad-beli yareakh

that the righteous may flourish in his time, and well-being abound, till the moon is no more.

veyerd miyyam ad-yam uminnahar ad-afse-arets

Let him rule from sea to sea, from the river to the ends of the earth.

lefanayw yikhre'u tsiyyim ve'oyevayw afar yelakhekhu

Let desert-dwellers kneel before him, and his enemies lick the dust.

malkhe tarshish ve'iyyim minkhah yashivu malkhe sheva useva eshkar yaqrivu

Let kings of Tarshish and the islands pay tribute, kings of Sheba and Seba offer gifts.

veyishtakhavu-lo khol-melakhim kol-goyim ya'avduhu

Let all kings bow to him, and all nations serve him.

ki-yatsil evyon meshavvea ve'ani ve'en-ozer lo

For he saves the needy who cry out, the lowly who have no helper.

yakhos al-dal ve'evyon venafshot evyonim yoshia

He cares about the poor and the needy; He brings the needy deliverance.

mittokh umekhamas yigal nafsham veyeqar damam be'enayw

He redeems them from fraud and lawlessness; the shedding of their blood weighs heavily upon him.

vikhi veyitten-lo mizzehav sheva veyitpallel ba'ado tamid kol-hayyom yevarekhenhu

So let him live, and receive gold of Sheba; let prayers for him be said always, blessings on him invoked at all times.

yehi fissat-bar ba'arets berosh harim yirash kallevanon piryo veyatsitsu me'ir ke'esev ha'arets

Let abundant grain be in the land, to the tops of the mountains; let his crops thrive like the forest of Lebanon; and let the people sprout up in towns like country grass.

yehi shemo le'olam lifne-shemesh (ynyn) [yinnon] shemo veyitbarekhu vo kol-goyim ye'asheruhu

May his name be eternal; while the sun lasts, may his name endure; let peoples invoke his blessedness upon themselves; let all nations count him happy.

barukh Adonai elohim elohe yisra'el oseh nifla'ot levaddo

Blessed is the ETERNAL God, God of Israel, who alone does wondrous things;

uvarukh shem kevodo le'olam veyimmale khevodo et-kol ha'arets amen ve'amen

Blessed is God’s glorious name forever; such glory fills the whole world. Amen and Amen.
