PSALM LXXII. ABRIDGED, AND ADAPTED[22] TO A PARTICULAR TUNE.

Lord, to the King thy judgments give, Give to his Son thy righteousness: So shall thy people safely live, So he thy chosen flock shall bless. Great his dominion, large his sway O’er earth and ocean shall extend: Him shall remotest isles obey, Him the wide sea from end to end. War and the battle then shall cease, Then righteous men in favour stand; Peace shall return, a lasting peace; Plenty again shall store the land. While He, with choicest blessings crown’d, Long on his throne shall sit sublime; Honour’d by all the nations round, Honour’d by Kings of every clime. Blest be our God for these fair days, These happy days that rise again! O may his glorious name and praise Fill all the earth! Amen, amen.
