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.

¹² It is an abomination for kings to commit wickedness,
For ^(A)a throne is established by righteousness.
