Psalms 72:1-8 Modern English Version (MEV)

1. Give the king Your judgments, O God,and Your righteousness to the king’s son.

2. May he judge Your people with righteousness,and Your poor with justice.

3. May the mountains bring well-being to the people,and the hills, in righteousness.

4. May he judge the poor of the people,may he save the children of the needy,and crush the oppressor.

5. May they fear You as long as the sun endures,and the moon, throughout all generations.

6. May he descend like rain on the mown grass,as showers dripping on the earth.

7. In his days may the righteous flourish,and abundance of peace until the moon is no more.

8. May he have dominion from sea to sea,and from the River to the ends of the earth.
