| Psalms 72:11 | Yea, all kings shall fall down before him; All nations shall serve him. | Yes, let all kings go down before him; let all nations be his servants. | Behold these are sinners; and yet abounding in the world they have obtained riches. | |
| Psalms 72:12 | For he will deliver the needy when he crieth, And the poor, that hath no helper. | For he will be a saviour to the poor in answer to his cry; and to him who is in need, without a helper. | And I said: Then have I in vain justified my heart, and washed my hands among the innocent. | |
| Psalms 72:13 | He will have pity on the poor and needy, And the souls of the needy he will save. | He will have pity on the poor, and be the saviour of those who are in need. | And I have been scourged all the day; and my chastisement hath been in the mornings. | |
| Psalms 72:14 | He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence; And precious will their blood be in his sight: | He will keep their souls free from evil designs and violent attacks; and their blood will be of value in his eyes. | If I said: I will speak thus; behold I should condemn the generation of thy children. | |
| Psalms 72:15 | And they shall live; and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: And men shall pray for him continually; They shall bless him all the day long. | May he have long life, and may gold from Sheba be given to him: may prayers be made for him at all times; may blessings be on him every day. | I studied that I might know this thing, it is a labour in my sight: | |
| Psalms 72:16 | There shall be abundance of grain in the earth upon the top of the mountains; The fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon: And they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth. | May there be wide-stretching fields of grain in the land, shaking on the top of the mountains, full of fruit like Lebanon: may its stems be unnumbered like the grass of the earth. | Until I go into the sanctuary of God, and understand concerning their last ends. | |
| Psalms 72:17 | His name shall endure for ever; His name shall be continued as long as the sun: And men shall be blessed in him; All nations shall call him happy. | May his name go on for ever, as long as the sun: may men be blessing themselves by him; may all nations be blessing his name. | But indeed for deceits thou hast put it to them: when they were lifted up thou hast cast them down. | |
