Ps 72 (King James)

   ¹ Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the king's son.
   ² He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment. ³ The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness. ⁴ He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor. ⁵ They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations. ⁶ He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers that water the earth. ⁷ In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth. ⁸ He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth. ⁹ They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; and his enemies shall lick the dust. ¹⁰ The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts. ¹¹ Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve him. ¹² For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper. ¹³ He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy. ¹⁴ He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood be in his sight. ¹⁵ 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. ¹⁶ 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. ¹⁷ His name shall endure for ever: his name shall be continued as long as the sun: and men shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him blessed.
   ¹⁸ Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things. ¹⁹ And blessed be his glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled with his glory; Amen, and Amen. ²⁰ The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.

Ps 72 (Vulgate)

   ¹ Psalmus Asaph. [Quam bonus Israël Deus,
his qui recto sunt corde !
   ² Mei autem pene moti sunt pedes,
pene effusi sunt gressus mei :
   ³ quia zelavi super iniquos,
pacem peccatorum videns.
   ⁴ Quia non est respectus morti eorum,
et firmamentum in plaga eorum.
   ⁵ In labore hominum non sunt,
et cum hominibus non flagellabuntur.
   ⁶ Ideo tenuit eos superbia ;
operti sunt iniquitate et impietate sua.
   ⁷ Prodiit quasi ex adipe iniquitas eorum ;
transierunt in affectum cordis.
   ⁸ Cogitaverunt et locuti sunt nequitiam ;
iniquitatem in excelso locuti sunt.
   ⁹ Posuerunt in cælum os suum,
et lingua eorum transivit in terra.
   ¹⁰ Ideo convertetur populus meus hic,
et dies pleni invenientur in eis.
   ¹¹ Et dixerunt : Quomodo scit Deus,
et si est scientia in excelso ?
   ¹² Ecce ipsi peccatores, et abundantes in sæculo
obtinuerunt divitias.
   ¹³ Et dixi : Ergo sine causa justificavi cor meum,
et lavi inter innocentes manus meas,
   ¹⁴ et fui flagellatus tota die,
et castigatio mea in matutinis.
   ¹⁵ Si dicebam : Narrabo sic ;
ecce nationem filiorum tuorum reprobavi.
   ¹⁶ Existimabam ut cognoscerem hoc ;
labor est ante me :
   ¹⁷ donec intrem in sanctuarium Dei,
et intelligam in novissimis eorum.
   ¹⁸ Verumtamen propter dolos posuisti eis ;
dejecisti eos dum allevarentur.
   ¹⁹ Quomodo facti sunt in desolationem ?
subito defecerunt : perierunt propter iniquitatem suam.
   ²⁰ Velut somnium surgentium, Domine,
in civitate tua imaginem ipsorum ad nihilum rediges.
   ²¹ Quia inflammatum est cor meum,
et renes mei commutati sunt ;
   ²² et ego ad nihilum redactus sum, et nescivi :
   ²³ ut jumentum factus sum apud te,
et ego semper tecum.
   ²⁴ Tenuisti manum dexteram meam,
et in voluntate tua deduxisti me,
et cum gloria suscepisti me.
   ²⁵ Quid enim mihi est in cælo ?
et a te quid volui super terram ?
   ²⁶ Defecit caro mea et cor meum ;
Deus cordis mei, et pars mea, Deus in æternum.
   ²⁷ Quia ecce qui elongant se a te peribunt ;
perdidisti omnes qui fornicantur abs te.
   ²⁸ Mihi autem adhærere Deo bonum est ;
ponere in Domino Deo spem meam :
ut annuntiem omnes prædicationes tuas
in portis filiæ Sion.]
