* Psalm 72
Give the king (David) THY judgments, O God, and THY righteousness unto the king's son (Solomon).
HE shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment.
The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness.
*****
HE shall judge the poor of the people,
HE shall save the children of the needy,
and shall break in pieces the oppressor.
They shall fear THEE as long as the sun
and moon endure, throughout all generations.
HE shall come down like rain
upon the mown grass:
as showers that water the earth.
In HIS days shall the righteous flourish;
and abundance of peace
so long as the moon endureth.
HE shall have dominion also from sea to sea,
and from the river unto the ends of the earth.
*****
They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before HIM; and HIS enemies shall lick the dust.
The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
Yea, all kings shall fall down before HIM: all nations shall serve HIM.
*****
For HE shall deliver the needy when he crieth;
the poor also, and him that hath no helper.
HE shall spare the poor and needy,
and shall save the souls of the needy.
HE shall redeem their soul
from deceit and violence:
and precious shall their blood be
in HIS sight.
And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: prayer also shall be made for him continually; and daily shall HE be praised.
There shall be an handful of corn 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.
HIS name shall endure for ever:
HIS name shall be continued as long as the sun:
NT ... the sun shall be destroyed but God, and Jesus, will continue as will the people of God ... II Peter 3:10-14 ... But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
Rev. 22:5 ... (in the new heavens and new earth) ... And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.

Psalm 72
and men shall be blessed in HIM: all nations shall call HIM blessed.
Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel,
who only doeth wondrous things.
And blessed be HIS glorious name for ever:
and let the whole earth be filled
with HIS glory;
Amen, and Amen.
The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
