 Psalmien 72:1-4 Raamattu 1933/38

72 Salomon virsi. Jumala, anna kuninkaan tuomita, niinkuin sinä tuomitset, anna vanhurskautesi kuninkaan pojalle.
2 Tuomitkoon hän sinun kansaasi vanhurskaasti ja sinun kurjiasi oikeuden mukaan.
3 Vuoret kantakoot rauhaa kansalle, niin myös kukkulat, vanhurskauden voimasta.
4 Auttakoon hän kansan kurjat oikeuteen, pelastakoon köyhäin lapset ja musertakoon sortajan.
Psalm 72:1-4 Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
Psalm 72[a]
[A Psalm] for Solomon.
1 Give the king [knowledge of] Your [way of] judging, O God, and [the spirit of] Your righteousness to the king’s son [to control all his actions].
2 Let him judge and govern Your people with righteousness, and Your poor and afflicted ones with judgment and justice.
3 The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the hills, through [the general establishment of] righteousness.
4 May he judge and defend the poor of the people, deliver the children of the needy, and crush the oppressor,
Footnotes Psalm 72:1 “This psalm, in highly wrought figurative style, describes the reign of a king as ‘righteous, universal, beneficent, and perpetual.’ By the older Jewish and most of the modern Christian interpreters it has been applied to Christ, Whose reign present and prospective alone corresponds with its statements. As the imagery of the Second Psalm was drawn from the martial character of David’s reign, that of this is from the peaceful and prosperous state of Solomon’s” (Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown, A Commentary). “Jesus is here, beyond all doubt, in the glory of His reign, both as He now is and as He shall be revealed in the latter-day glory” (Charles Haddon Spurgeon, The Treasury of David).
