Psalms 72 תְּהִלִּים

¹לִשְׁלֹמֹ֨ה ׀ אֱֽלֹהִ֗ים מִ֭שְׁפָּטֶיךָ לְמֶ֣לֶךְ תֵּ֑ן וְצִדְקָתְךָ֥ לְבֶן־מֶֽלֶךְ׃

lishlomo elohim mishpatekha lemelekh ten vetzidkatkha leven-melekh

1[A Psalm] of Solomon. Give the king Thy judgments, O God, and Thy righteousness unto the king's son;

²יָדִ֣ין עַמְּךָ֣ בְצֶ֑דֶק וַעֲנִיֶּ֥יךָ בְמִשְׁפָּֽט׃

yadin ammekha vetzedek va'aniyyekha vemishpat

2That he may judge Thy people with righteousness, and Thy poor with justice.

³יִשְׂא֤וּ הָרִ֓ים שָׁ֘ל֥וֹם לָעָ֑ם וּ֝גְבָע֗וֹת בִּצְדָקָֽה׃

yisu harim shalom la'am ugeva'ot bitzdaka

3Let the mountains bear peace to the people, and the hills, through righteousness.

⁴יִשְׁפֹּ֤ט ׀ עֲֽנִיֵּי־עָ֗ם י֭וֹשִׁיעַ לִבְנֵ֣י אֶבְי֑וֹן וִֽידַכֵּ֣א עוֹשֵֽׁק׃

yishpot aniyye-am yoshia livne evyon vidakke oshek

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

⁵יִֽירָא֥וּךָ עִם־שָׁ֑מֶשׁ וְלִפְנֵ֥י יָ֝רֵ֗חַ דּ֣וֹר דּוֹרִֽים׃

yiraukha im-shamesh velifne yareach dor dorim

5They shall fear Thee while the sun endureth, and so long as the moon, throughout all generations.

⁶יֵ֭רֵד כְּמָטָ֣ר עַל־גֵּ֑ז כִּ֝רְבִיבִ֗ים זַרְזִ֥יף אָֽרֶץ׃

yered kematar al-gez kirvivim zarzif aretz

6May he come down like rain upon the mown grass, as showers that water the earth.

⁷יִֽפְרַח־בְּיָמָ֥יו צַדִּ֑יק וְרֹ֥ב שָׁ֝ל֗וֹם עַד־בְּלִ֥י יָרֵֽחַ׃

yifrach-beyamav tzaddik verov shalom ad-beli yareach

7In his days let the righteous flourish, and abundance of peace, till the moon be no more.

⁸וְ֭יֵרְדְּ מִיָּ֣ם עַד־יָ֑ם וּ֝מִנָּהָ֗ר עַד־אַפְסֵי־אָֽרֶץ׃

veyerd miyyam ad-yam uminnahar ad-afse-aretz

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

⁹לְ֭פָנָיו יִכְרְע֣וּ צִיִּ֑ים וְ֝אֹיְבָ֗יו עָפָ֥ר יְלַחֵֽכוּ׃

lefanav yikhre'u tziyyim ve'oyvav afar yelachekhu

9Let them that dwell in the wilderness bow before him; and his enemies lick the dust.

¹⁰מַלְכֵ֬י תַרְשִׁ֣ישׁ וְ֭אִיִּים מִנְחָ֣ה יָשִׁ֑יבוּ מַלְכֵ֥י שְׁבָ֥א וּ֝סְבָ֗א אֶשְׁכָּ֥ר יַקְרִֽיבוּ׃

malkhe tarshish ve'iyyim mincha yashivu malkhe sheva useva eshkar yakrivu

10The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall render tribute; the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.

¹¹וְיִשְׁתַּחֲווּ־ל֥וֹ כָל־מְלָכִ֑ים כָּל־גּוֹיִ֥ם יַֽעַבְדֽוּהוּ׃

veyishtachavu-lo khal-melakhim kal-goyim ya'avduhu

11Yea, all kings shall prostrate themselves before him; All nations shall serve him.

¹²כִּֽי־יַ֭צִּיל אֶבְי֣וֹן מְשַׁוֵּ֑עַ וְ֝עָנִ֗י וְֽאֵין־עֹזֵ֥ר לֽוֹ׃

ki-yatzil evyon meshavvea ve'ani ve'en-ozer lo

12For he will deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper.

¹³יָ֭חֹס עַל־דַּ֣ל וְאֶבְי֑וֹן וְנַפְשׁ֖וֹת אֶבְיוֹנִ֣ים יוֹשִֽׁיעַ׃

yachos al-dal ve'evyon venafshot evyonim yoshia

13He will have pity on the poor and needy, And the souls of the needy he will save.

¹⁴מִתּ֣וֹךְ וּ֭מֵחָמָס יִגְאַ֣ל נַפְשָׁ֑ם וְיֵיקַ֖ר דָּמָ֣ם בְּעֵינָֽיו׃

mittokh umechamas yig'al nafsham veyekar damam be'enav

14He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence, And precious will their blood be in his sight.

¹⁵וִיחִ֗י וְיִתֶּן־לוֹ֮ מִזְּהַ֪ב שְׁ֫בָ֥א וְיִתְפַּלֵּ֣ל בַּעֲד֣וֹ תָמִ֑יד כָּל־הַ֝יּ֗וֹם יְבָרֲכֶֽנְהֽוּ׃

vichi veyitten-lo mizzehav sheva veyitpallel ba'ado tamid kal-hayyom yevarakhenhu

15That they may live, and that he may give them of the gold of Sheba, That they may pray for him continually, Yea, bless him all the day.

¹⁶יְהִ֤י פִסַּת־בַּ֨ר ׀ בָּאָרֶץ֮ בְּרֹ֪אשׁ הָ֫רִ֥ים יִרְעַ֣שׁ כַּלְּבָנ֣וֹן פִּרְי֑וֹ וְיָצִ֥יצוּ מֵ֝עִ֗יר כְּעֵ֣שֶׂב הָאָֽרֶץ׃

yehi fissat-bar ba'aretz berosh harim yir'ash kallevanon piryo veyatzitzu me'ir ke'esev ha'aretz

16May he be as a rich cornfield in the land upon the top of the mountains; May his fruit rustle like Lebanon; And may they blossom out of the city like grass of the earth.

¹⁷יְהִ֤י שְׁמ֨וֹ לְֽעוֹלָ֗ם לִפְנֵי־שֶׁמֶשׁ֮ ינין [יִנּ֪וֹן] שְׁ֫מ֥וֹ וְיִתְבָּ֥רְכוּ ב֑וֹ כָּל־גּוֹיִ֥ם יְאַשְּׁרֽוּהוּ׃

yehi shemo le'olam lifne-shemesh yinnon shemo veyitbarkhu vo kal-goyim ye'asheruhu

17May his name endure for ever; May his name be continued as long as the sun; May men also bless themselves by him; May all nations call him happy.

¹⁸בָּר֤וּךְ ׀ יְהוָ֣ה אֱ֭לֹהִים אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל עֹשֵׂ֖ה נִפְלָא֣וֹת לְבַדּֽוֹ׃

barukh ADONAI elohim elohe yisra'el ose niflaot levaddo

18Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, Who only doeth wondrous things;

¹⁹וּבָר֤וּךְ ׀ שֵׁ֥ם כְּבוֹד֗וֹ לְע֫וֹלָ֥ם וְיִמָּלֵ֣א כְ֭בוֹדוֹ אֶת־כֹּ֥ל הָאָ֗רֶץ אָ֘מֵ֥ן ׀ וְאָמֵֽן׃

uvarukh shem kevodo le'olam veyimmale khevodo et-kol ha'aretz amen ve'amen

19And blessed be His glorious name for ever; And let the whole earth be filled with His glory. Amen, and Amen.

²⁰כָּלּ֥וּ תְפִלּ֑וֹת דָּ֝וִ֗ד בֶּן־יִשָֽׁי׃
