72:1 （所罗门的诗）神阿，求你将判断的权柄赐给王，将公义赐给王的儿子。
Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the king’s son.
72:2 他要按公义审判你的民，按公平审判你的困苦人。
He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment.
72:3 大山小山，都要因公义使民得享平安。
The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness.
72:4 他必为民中的困苦人伸冤，拯救穷乏之辈，压碎那欺压人的。
He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor.
72:5 太阳还存，月亮还在，人要敬畏你，直到万代。
They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations.
72:6 他必降临，像雨降在已割的草地上，如甘霖滋润田地。
He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers that water the earth.
72:7 在他的日子义人要发旺，大有平安，好像月亮长存。
In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth.
72:8 他要执掌权柄，从这海直到那海，从大河直到地极。
He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.
72:9 住在旷野的，必在他面前下拜。他的仇敌，必要舔土。
They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; and his enemies shall lick the dust.
72:10 他施和海岛的王要进贡。示巴和西巴的王要献礼物。
The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
72:11 诸王都要叩拜他，万国都要事奉他。
Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve him.
72:12 因为穷乏人呼求的时候，他要搭救，没有人帮助的困苦人，他也要搭救。
For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper.
72:13 他要怜恤贫寒和穷乏的人，拯救穷苦人的性命。
He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy.
72:14 他要救赎他们脱离欺压和强暴。他们的血在他眼中看为宝贵。
He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood be in his sight.
72:15 他们要存活。示巴的金子要奉给他。人要常常为他祷告，终日称颂他。
And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: prayer also shall be made for him continually; and daily shall he be praised.
72:16 在地的山顶上，五谷必然茂盛。（五谷必然茂盛或作有一把五谷）所结的谷实，要响动如黎巴嫩的树林。城里的人，要发旺如地上的草。
There shall be an handful of corn in the earth upon the top of the mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon: and they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.
72:17 他的名要存到永远，要留传如日之久。人要因他蒙福。万国要称他有福。
His name shall endure for ever: his name shall be continued as long as the sun: and men shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him blessed.
72:18 独行奇事的耶和华以色列的神，是应当称颂的。
Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things.
72:19 他荣耀的名，也当称颂，直到永远。愿他的荣耀，充满全地。阿们，阿们。
And blessed be his glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled with his glory; Amen, and Amen.
72:20 耶西的儿子大卫的祈祷完毕。
The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
诗篇72参考
今天我们实在需要一些公义正直的领袖。一起为此祈祷，好吗？
72:1-2 甚么是我们的领袖所需最重要的素质呢？神希望所有在神之下的领袖都公义正直。试想，如果世界上的领袖们都符合这两条，世界将有多么大的改变啊！让我们为他们的心志祷告吧（参提前2:1-2）。
要照顾有需要的人，真的要吗？我能力有限──你在甚么地方缺乏超过穷苦人？这，我……
72:12-14 神照顾有需要的人、受害的人和软弱的人。他们在神眼中非常宝贵。如果神是这样地爱他们，我们又怎能袖手旁观？我们要以神的爱来检查一下自己的所作所为，我们是忽视他们的困难，还是满足他们的需要呢？
人因他蒙福，是指我主耶稣吧，不知道他再来时会是……
72:17 大卫的儿子所罗门登基的时候正是以色列的黄金时代。他建造了辉煌的圣殿，领土也平安无事。这首诗虽由所罗门所作，但提到了弥赛亚即耶稣的统治，所以看起来超出了所罗门的统治范围。弥赛亚的国度“直到地极”（72:8），比任何人的帝国都要大。这将在基督再来并永远掌权的时候实现（参启11:15）。当与基督一同作王的时候，我们心里将充满希望。
72:19-20 第二卷诗篇以“阿们，阿们”结束，诗篇第一卷最后一首诗（41篇）也是这样结束的。
