22Therefore I will praise you upon the lyre for your faithfulness, O my God; *
I will sing to you with the harp, O Holy One of Israel.

23My lips will sing with joy when I play to you, *
and so will my soul, which you have redeemed.

24My tongue will proclaim your righteousness all day long, *
for they are ashamed and disgraced who sought to do me harm.

72Deus, judicium

1Give the King your justice, O God, *
and your righteousness to the King’s Son;

2That he may rule your people righteously *
and the poor with justice;

3That the mountains may bring prosperity to the people, *
and the little hills bring righteousness.

4He shall defend the needy among the people; *
he shall rescue the poor and crush the oppressor.

5He shall live as long as the sun and moon endure, *
from one generation to another.

6He shall come down like rain upon the mown field, *
like showers that water the earth.

7In his time shall the righteous flourish; *
there shall be abundance of peace till the moon shall be no more.

8He shall rule from sea to sea, *
and from the River to the ends of the earth.

Psalm 72685
