Deus Judicium. Ps.72.I.H.

God’s kingdom by Christ is represented by Solomon under whom shall be righteousness, peace and felicity, unto whom all kings and nations shall do homage, whose name and power shall endure forever.

The first part The second part
Lord give thy judgments to the King
therein instruct him well:
And with his son that princely thing,
Lord let thy justice dwell.
 
2 That he may govern uprightly,
and rule thy folk aright.
And so defend through equity,
the poor that have no might.
 
3 And let the mountains that are high,
unto their folk give peace,
And eke the little hills apply,
in justice to increase:
 
4 That he may help the weak and poor
with aide, and make them strong:
And eke destroy forevermore,
all those that do them wrong.
 
5 And then from age to age shall they
regard and fear thy might:
So long as Sun shall shine by day,
or else the Moon by night.
 
6 Lord make the king unto the just,
like rain to fields new mown:
And like to drops that lay the dust
and fresh the land new sown.
 
7 The just shall flourish in his time,
and all shall be at peace:
Until the moon shall leave to prime,
waste, change, and to increase.
 
8 He shall be Lord of Sea and land,
from shore to shore throughout,
And from the floods within the land,
through all the earth about.
 
9 The people that in desert dwell,
shall kneel to him full thick:
And all his enemies that rebel,
the earth and dust shall lick.
 
10 The Lords of all the Isles thereby,
great gifts to him shall bring:
The kings of Seba, and Araby,
give many a costly thing.
11 All kings shall seek with one accord,
in his good grace to stand:
And all the people of the world,
shall serve him at his hand.
 
12 For he the needy forth doth save,
that unto him doth call:
And eke the simple folk that have
no help of man at all.
 
13 He taketh pity on the poor,
that are with need oppressed:
He doth preserve them evermore,
and brings their soul to rest.
 
14 He shall redeem their life from dread,
from fraud, from wrong, from might,
And eke the blood that they shall bleed
is precious in his sight.
 
15 But he shall live, and they shall bring,
to him of Sheba’s gold:
He shall be honored as a King,
and daily be extolled.
 
16 The mighty mountain of his land,
of corn shall bear such throng:
That it like Cedar trees shall stand,
in Lebanon full long.
 
17 Their cities eke full well shall speed,
the fruits thereof shall pass:
In plenty it shall far exceed,
and spring as green as grass.
 
18 For ever they shall praise his name,
while that the sun is light:
And think them happy through the same,
all folk shall bless his might.
 
19 Praise ye the Lord of hosts and sing,
to Israel’s God each one:
For he doth every wondrous thing,
yea, he himself alone.
 
20 And blessed be his holy Name,
all times eternally,
That all the earth may praise the same
Amen, Amen say I.
