Blessèd are you, Sovereign God, ruler of the nations,
to you be glory and praise for ever!
From the rising of the sun to its setting
your name is proclaimed in all the world.
As the Sun of Righteousness dawns in our hearts,
anoint our lips with the seal of your Spirit
that we may witness to your gospel
and sing your praise in all the world,
Creator, Redeemer, and Giver of Life:
Blessèd be God for ever!
Psalm 72
- Give the king your justice O God:
and your righteousness to a king's son, - that he may judge your people rightly:
and uphold the poor with justice. - Let the mountains bring forth peace for the people:
and the hills prosperity with justice. - May the king defend the cause
of the poor among the people:
save the children of the needy
and crush the oppressor. - May he live as long as the sun endures:
as long as the moon from age to age. - May he come down like rain upon the grass:
like showers that water the earth. - In his days may righteousness flourish:
and abundance of peace till the moon is no more. - May his rule extend from sea to sea:
and from the River to the ends of the earth. - May the tribes of the desert bow down before him:
and his enemies lick the dust. - May the kings of Tarshish and of the isles pay tribute:
the kings of Sheba and Seba bring their gifts.
- May all kings fall prostrate before him:
and all nations render him service. - He shall deliver the needy when they cry:
and the poor who have no helper. - He shall have pity on the weak and the needy:
and save the lives of the poor. - He shall rescue them from oppression and violence:
and their blood shall be precious in his sight. - Long may the king live, and receive gifts of gold from Sheba:
may prayer be made for him continually,
and may people bless him every day. - Let there be abundance of wheat in the land, growing thick up to the hilltops:
may its crops flourish like those of Lebanon,
and the sheaves be numberless as blades of grass. - May the king live forever:
and his name endure as long as the sun. - May all nations pray to be blessed as he is:
and all peoples call him blessed. - Blessed are you O Lord our God:
for you alone do marvellous things. - Blessed be your glorious name forever:
let the whole earth be filled with your glory.
Amen. Amen.
