Recorded at the Inverness Festival of Psalms (2003) by the Free Church Choir. PSALM 72 sung a capella from Sing Psalms 2003 (Produced by the Free Church of Scotland. Meter: LM

1 Endow the king with justice, LORD,
The royal son with righteousness.
2 Your people, your afflicted ones,
He’ll judge with truth and uprightness.

3 The mountains will bring peace to them,
The hills the fruit of righteousness.
4 He will defend and save the poor,
And crush all those who them oppress.

5 As long as sun and moon endure,
So will he live time without end.
6 He’ll be like showers on the earth,
Like rains that on mown fields descend.

7 The righteous then will blossom forth
Throughout his everlasting reign;
Until the moon no longer shines,
Peace in abundance will remain.
