From Textus Receptus

Psa 72:1 <Of Solomon.> O God geue vnto the kyng thy iudgementes: and thy ryghteousnesse vnto the kynges sonne. Psa 72:2 [Then] he wyll iudge thy people accordyng vnto iustice: and thy afflicted accordyng to equitie. Psa 72:3 The mountaynes also and hylles: shall bryng peace to the people by the meanes of ryghteousnesse. Psa 72:4 He wyll iudge the afflicted amongst the people: he wyll saue the children of the poore, and subdue the oppressour. Psa 72:5 They wyll feare thee as long as the sunne and moone shyneth: from one generation to another. Psa 72:6 He wyll come downe lyke the rayne into a fleece of wooll: euen as the droppes that water the earth. Psa 72:7 In his dayes the ryghteous wyll florishe: and there shalbe aboundaunce of peace so long as the moone endureth. Psa 72:8 His dominion also shalbe from the one sea to the other: and from the fludde vnto the ende of the earth. Psa 72:9 They that dwell in the wildernesse shal kneele before him: his enemies shal licke the dust. Psa 72:10 The kyng of Tharsis and of the Iles shall offer presentes: the kynges of Sheba & Seba shall bring giftes. Psa 72:11 All kynges wyll worshyp hym: all nations wyll do hym seruice. Psa 72:12 For he wyll delyuer the poore when he cryeth: and the afflicted and hym that hath no helper. Psa 72:13 He wyll haue compassion vpon the poore and needy: and he wyll preserue the soules of the poore. Psa 72:14 He wyll delyuer their soules from deceipt and oppression: and their blood shalbe in his syght. Psa 72:15 He wyll lyue, and he wyll geue to the poore of the golde of Sheba: and he wyll pray alwayes for hym, and dayly he wyll blesse hym. Psa 72:16 A handfull of corne shall [be sowed] in the earth vpon the toppe of hylles: and the fruite therof shall make a noyse lyke Libanus, and shall florishe in the citie lyke grasse vpon the earth. Psa 72:17 His name shall endure for euer, his name shalbe spread abrode to the world so long as the sunne shall shyne: all nations shalbe blessed in hym, and shall call hym blessed. Psa 72:18 Blessed be God the Lorde: the Lorde of Israel which only doth wonderous thynges. Psa 72:19 (72:19a) And blessed be the name of his maiestie for euer: and all the earth shalbe fylled with his maiestie. Amen, Amen. Psa 72:20 (72:19b) Here endeth the prayers of Dauid the sonne of Isai.
