Psalms 72 — Context

Let his kingdom be from sea to sea, from the River to the ends of the earth.

Let those who are against him go down before him; and let his haters be low in the dust.

Let the kings of Tarshish and of the islands come back with offerings; let the kings of Sheba and Seba give of their stores.

Yes, let all kings go down before him; let all nations be his servants.

For he will be a saviour to the poor in answer to his cry; and to him who is in need, without a helper.

He will have pity on the poor, and be the saviour of those who are in need.

He will keep their souls free from evil designs and violent attacks; and their blood will be of value in his eyes.
