Lord, give thy judgments to the king
Author: J. H. Hymnal: The Whole Book of Psalms #LXXII (1790) Lyrics: 1 Lord, give thy judgments to the king,
therein instruct him well;
And with his son in every thing,
Lord, let thy justice dwell;
2 That he may govern uprightly;
and rule thy folk with right;
And so defend with equity
the poor, that have no might.
3 And let the mountains, that are high
unto thy folk give peace,
Let little hills also apply
in justice to increase;
4 That he may help the weak and poor
with aid, and make them strong,
And so destroy for evermore
all those, that do them wrong.
5 And then from age to age shall they
regard and fear thy might,
So long as sun doth shine by day,
or moon give light by night.
6 Lord, make the king unto the just
like rain to fields new mown,
And like to drops, that lay the dust,
refreshing land new sown.
7 The just shall flourish in his days,
and all shall be at peace,
Until the moon shall cease always
to change, waste, or increase.
8 He shall be Lord, and have command
from shore to shore throughout,
And from the floods within the land,
thro' all the earth about.
9 The people that in desarts dwell
Shall kneel to him full thick,
And all his foes, that do rebel,
the earth and dust shall lick:
10 The lords of all the isles also
great gifts to him shall bring,
Arabia and Saba's kings
give many a costly thing:
The Second Part.
11 All kings shall seek with one accord
in his good grace to stand,
And all the people of the world
obey at his command:
12 For he the needy sort doth save,
that unto him do call,
Also the simple folk, that have
no help of man at all.
13 He taketh pity on the poor,
that are with need opprest,
He doth preserve them evermore,
and bring their souls to rest:
14 He shall redeem their souls from dread,
from fraud, from wrong, and might;
Also their blood that shall be shed,
is precious in his sight.
15 But he shall live, and they shall bring
to him of Saba's gold,
He shall be honour'd as a king,
and daily be extoll'd.
16 The mighty mountains of his land
of corn shall bear such throng,
That it like cedar-trees shall stand
in Libanus full long.
17 Their cities also well shall speed,
the fruits thereof surpass;
In plenty it shall so exceed,
and spring as green as grass.
18 For ever they shall praise his Name,
while that the sun is light,
And think them happy through the same,
all folk shall bless his might.
19 Praise ye the Lord of hosts, and sing
to Israel's God each one;
For he doth ev'ry wondrous thing,
yea, he himself alone:
20 And blessed be his holy Name
all times eternally;
Let all the earth still praise the same,
Amen, Amen, say I. Scripture: Psalm 72 Languages: English
Lord, give thy judgments to the king
Deus judicium
Author: J. H. Hymnal: The Whole Booke of Psalmes #38b (1640) First Line: Lord give thy judgements to the King Lyrics: 1 Lord give thy judgements to the King
therein instruct him well:
And with his sonne that princely thing,
Lord let thy justice dwell.
2 That he may governe uprightly,
and rule thy folk aright:
And so defend through equity,
the poore that have no might.
3 And let the mountaines that are hie,
unto thy folk give peace:
And eke let little hils apply,
in justice to increase.
4 That he may help the weak and poore
with aide, and make them strong:
And eke destroy for evermore,
all those that do them wrong.
5 And then from age to age shall they
regard and fear thy might:
So long as Sun doth shine by day,
or else the Moone by night.
6 Lord make the King unto the just,
like raine to fields new mown:
And like to drops that lay the dust,
refreshing land new sowne.
7 The just shall flourish in his time,
and all shall be at peace:
Untill the Moone shall leave to prime,
waste, change and to increase.
8 He shall be Lord of sea and land,
from shore to shore throughout:
And from the flouds within the land,
through all the earth about.
9 The people that in desarts dwell,
Shall kneele to him full thick:
And all his enemies that rebell,
the earth and dust shall lick.
10 The lords of all the Iles thereby,
great gifts to him shall bring:
The Kings of Saba and Arabie,
give many a costly thing.
The second Part:
11 All kings shall seek with one accord,
in his good grace to stand:
And all the people of the world,
shall serve him at his hand.
12 For he the needy sort doth save
that unto him do call:
And eke the simple folk that have
no help of man at all.
13 He taketh pity on the poore,
that are with need opprest:
He doth preserve them evermore,
and bring their soules to rest.
14 He shall redeem their souls from dread
from fraud, from wrong, and might:
And eke the blood that they shall bleed
is precious in his sight.
15 But he shall live and they shall bring
to him of Sabaes gold:
He shall be honoured as a King,
and daily be extold.
16 The mighty mountaines of his land
of corne shall bear such throng:
That it like Cedar trees shall stand,
in Libanus full long.
17 Their Cities eke full well shall speed,
the fruits thereof shall passe:
In plenty it shall far exceed,
and spring as green as grasse.
18 For ever they shall praise his Name,
while that the Sun is light:
And think them happy through the same
all folk shall blesse his might.
19 Praise ye the Lord of hosts, and sing
to Israels God each one:
For he doth every wondrous thing,
yea he himself alone.
20 And blessed be his holy Name
all times eternally:
That all the earth may praise the same,
Amen, Amen, say I.
