Psalms 72:8-14 Metrical Psalms 1650 (MP1650)

8. His large and great dominion shallfrom sea to sea extend:It from the river shall reach forthunto earth's utmost end.

9. They in the wilderness that dwellbow down before him must;And they that are his enemiesshall lick the very dust.

10. The kings of Tarshish, and the isles,to him shall presents bring;And unto him shall offer giftsSheba's and Seba's king.

11. Yea, all the mighty kings on earthbefore him down shall fall;And all the nations of the worlddo service to him shall.

12. For he the needy shall preserve,when he to him doth call;The poor also, and him that hathno help of man at all.

13. The poor man and the indigentin mercy he shall spare;He shall preserve alive the soulsof those that needy are.

14. Both from deceit and violencetheir soul he shall set free;And in his sight right preciousand dear their blood shall be.
