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.
Psalm 72
New King James Version
Glory and Universality of the Messiah’s Reign
A Psalm (A)of Solomon.
72 Give the king Your judgments, O God,
And Your righteousness to the king’s Son.
2 (B)He will judge Your people with righteousness,
And Your poor with justice.
3 (C)The mountains will bring peace to the people,
And the little hills, by righteousness.
4 (D)He will bring justice to the poor of the people;
He will save the children of the needy,
And will [a]break in pieces the oppressor.
5 [b]They shall fear You
(E)As long as the sun and moon endure,
Throughout all generations.
6 (F)He shall come down like rain upon the grass before mowing,
Like showers that water the earth.
7 In His days the righteous shall flourish,
(G)And abundance of peace,
Until the moon is no more.
8 (H)He shall have dominion also from sea to sea,
And from the River to the ends of the earth.
9 (I)Those who dwell in the wilderness will bow before Him,
(J)And His enemies will lick the dust.
10 (K)The kings of Tarshish and of the isles
Will bring presents;
The kings of Sheba and Seba
Will offer gifts.
11 (L)Yes, all kings shall fall down before Him;
All nations shall serve Him.
12 For He (M)will deliver the needy when he cries,
The poor also, and him who has no helper.
13 He will spare the poor and needy,
And will save the souls of the needy.
14 He will redeem their life from oppression and violence;
And (N)precious shall be their blood in His sight.
15 And He shall live;
And the gold of (O)Sheba will be given to Him;
Prayer also will be made for Him continually,
And daily He shall be praised.
16 There will be an abundance of grain in the earth,
On the top of the mountains;
Its fruit shall wave like Lebanon;
(P)And those of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.
17 (Q)His name shall endure forever;
His name shall continue as long as the sun.
And (R)men shall be blessed in Him;
(S)All nations shall call Him blessed.
18 (T)Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel,
(U)Who only does wondrous things!
19 And (V)blessed be His glorious name forever!
(W)And let the whole earth be filled with His glory.
Amen and Amen.
20 The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
