CHAP. LXXII.

1 Dauid praying for Solomon, sheweth the goodnesse and glory of his, in type, and in trueth, of Christes kingdome. 18 Hee blesseth God.

¹[A Psalme for Solomon.] Giue the King thy Iudgements, O God, and thy Righteousnesse vnto the Kings sonne.

²Hee shall iudge thy people with righteousnesse, and thy poore with iudgement.

³The mountaines shal bring peace to the people, and the litle hils, by righteousnesse.

⁴Hee shall iudge the poore of the people, he shall saue the children of the needie, and shallbreake in pieces the oppressour.

⁵They shall feare thee as long as the Sunne & Moone indure, throughout all generations.

⁶Hee shall come downe like raine vpon the mowen grasse: as showres that water the earth.

⁷In his dayes shall the righteous flourish: and abundance of peace so long as the Moone endureth.⁷

⁸He shall haue dominion also from sea to sea, and from the riuer, vnto the ends of the earth.

⁹They that dwell in the wildernesse shall bowe before him: and his enemies shall licke the dust.

¹⁰The kings of Tarshish and of the Isles shall bring presents: the Kings of Sheba and Seba shalloffer gifts.

¹¹Yea, all Kings shall fall downe before him: all nations shall serue him.

¹²For hee shall deliuer the needy when he crieth: the poore also, and him that hath no helper.

¹³He shal spare the poore and needy, and shall saue the soules of the needy.

¹⁴He shall redeeme their soule from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood be in hissight.

¹⁵And he shall liue, and to him shalbe giuen of the gold of Sheba; prayer also shalbe made for himcontinually, and daily shall he be praised.¹⁵

¹⁶There shalbe an handfull of corne in the earth vpon the top of the mountaines; the fruit thereofshall shake like Lebanon, and they of the citie shall flourish like grasse of the earth.

¹⁷His name shall endure for euer: his name shalbe continued as long as the sunne: and men shalbeblessed in him; all nations shall call him blessed.¹⁷

¹⁸Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, who only doth wonderous things.

¹⁹And blessed be his glorious name for euer, and let the whole earth be filled with his glory. Amen,and Amen.

²⁰The prayers of Dauid the sonne of Iesse, are ended.
