Psalms 72:1, 2, 7, 8, 12, 13, 17

Of Solomon.

O God, give your judgment to the king; your justice to the king’s son; That he may govern your people with justice, your oppressed with right judgment

That abundance may flourish in his days, great bounty, till the moon be no more.

May he rule from sea to sea, from the river to the ends of the earth.

For he rescues the poor when they cry out, the oppressed who have no one to help.

He shows pity to the needy and the poor and saves the lives of the poor.

May his name be forever; as long as the sun, may his name endure. May the tribes of the earth give blessings with his name; may all the nations regard him as favored.
