For 2 Solomon.
72:1 O God, grant the king the ability to make just decisions! 3
Grant the king’s son 4 the ability to make fair decisions! 5
72:2 Then he will judge 6 your people fairly,
and your oppressed ones 7 equitably.
72:3 The mountains will bring news of peace to the people,
and the hills will announce justice. 8
72:4 He will defend 9 the oppressed among the people;
he will deliver 10 the children 11 of the poor
and crush the oppressor.
72:5 People will fear 12 you 13 as long as the sun and moon remain in the sky,
for generation after generation. 14
