Names of God Bible
Psalm 72
By Solomon.
1 O Elohim, give the king your justice
and the king’s son[a] your righteousness
2 so that he may judge your people with righteousness
and your oppressed people with justice.
3 May the mountains bring peace to the people
and the hills bring righteousness.
4 May he grant justice to the people who are oppressed.
May he save the children of needy people
and crush their oppressor.
5 May they fear you as long as the sun and moon shine—
throughout every generation.
6 May he be like rain that falls on freshly cut grass,
like showers that water the land.
7 May righteous people blossom in his day.
May there be unlimited peace until the moon no longer shines.
8 May he rule from sea to sea,
from the Euphrates River to the ends of the earth.
9 May the people of the desert kneel in front of him.
May his enemies lick the dust.
10 May the kings from Tarshish and the islands bring presents.
May the kings from Sheba and Seba bring gifts.
11 May all kings worship him.
May all nations serve him.
12 He will rescue the needy person who cries for help
and the oppressed person who has no one’s help.
13 He will have pity on the poor and needy
and will save the lives of the needy.
14 He will rescue them from oppression and violence.
Their blood will be precious in his sight.
15 May he live long.
May the gold from Sheba be given to him.
May the people pray for him continually.
May they praise him all day long.
16 May there be plenty of grain in the land.
May it wave in the breeze on the mountaintops,
its fruit like the treetops of Lebanon.
May those from the city flourish like the grass on the ground.
17 May his name endure forever.
May his name continue as long as the sun shines.
May all nations be blessed through him and call him blessed.
18 Thank Yahweh Elohim, the Elohim of Israel,
who alone does miracles.
19 Thanks be to his glorious name forever.
May the whole earth be filled with his glory.
Amen and amen!
20 The prayers by David, son of Jesse, end here.

Salmo 72
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Panalangin para sa Hari
72 O Dios, ituro nʼyo po sa hari ang iyong pamamaraan sa paghatol at katuwiran,
2 para makatarungan siyang makapaghatol sa inyong mga mamamayan, pati na sa mga dukha.
3 Sumagana sana ang mga kabundukan upang mapagpala ang inyong mga mamamayan dahil matuwid ang hari.
4 Tulungan nʼyo siyang maipagtanggol ang mga dukha
at durugin ang mga umaapi sa kanila.
5 Manatili sana siya[a] magpakailanman,
habang may araw at buwan.
6 Maging tulad sana siya ng ulan na dumidilig sa lupa.
7 Umunlad sana ang buhay ng mga matuwid sa panahon ng kanyang pamumuno,
at maging maayos ang kalagayan ng tao hanggang sa wakas ng panahon.
8 Lumawak sana nang lumawak ang kanyang kaharian,[b]
mula sa ilog ng Eufrates hanggang sa pinakadulo ng mundo.[c]
9 Magpasakop sana sa kanya ang mga kaaway niyang nakatira sa ilang.
10 Magbigay sana ng mga kaloob sa kanya ang mga hari ng Tarshish,
ng malalayong isla, ng Sheba at Seba.
11 Magpasakop sana ang lahat ng hari sa kanya
at ang lahat ng bansa ay maglingkod sa kanya.
12 Dahil tinutulungan niya ang mga napabayaang dukha
na humingi ng tulong sa kanya.
13 Kahahabagan niya ang mga dukha at nangangailangan at silaʼy kanyang tutulungan.
14 Ililigtas niya sila sa mga malulupit at mapang-api dahil para sa kanya, ang buhay nilaʼy mahalaga.
15 Mabuhay sana ang hari nang matagal.
Sanaʼy mabigyan siya ng ginto mula sa Sheba.
Sanaʼy idalangin palagi ng mga tao na pagpalain siya ng Dios.
16 Sumagana sana ang ani sa lupain kahit na sa tuktok ng bundok, katulad ng mga ani sa Lebanon.
At dumami rin sana ang mga tao sa mga lungsod,
kasindami ng damo sa mga parang.
17 Huwag sanang malimutan ang pangalan ng hari magpakailanman, habang sumisikat pa ang araw.
Sa pamamagitan sana niya ay pagpalain ng Dios ang lahat ng bansa,
at sabihin sana ng mga ito na siyaʼy pinagpala ng Dios.
18 Purihin ang Panginoong Dios, ang Dios ng Israel,
na siyang tanging nakagagawa ng mga bagay na kamangha-mangha.
19 Purihin ang kanyang dakilang pangalan magpakailanman!
Mahayag sana sa buong mundo ang kanyang kaluwalhatian.
Amen! Amen!
20 Dito nagwawakas ang mga panalangin ni David na anak ni Jesse.
