1Endow the king with Your justice, O God,
and the son of the king with Your righteousness.
2May he judge Your people with righteousness
and Your afflicted with justice.
3May the mountains bring peace to the people,
and the hills bring righteousness.
4May he vindicate the afflicted among the people;
may he save the children of the needy
and crush the oppressor.
5May they fear him as long as the sun shines,
as long as the moon remains,
through all generations.
6May he be like rain that falls on freshly cut grass,
like spring showers that water the earth.
7May the righteous flourish in his days
and prosperity abound,
until the moon is no more.
— Psalm 72:1-7
