to the ends of the earth. 072:009 Those who dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him. His enemies shall lick the dust. 072:010 The kings of Tarshish and of the islands will bring tribute. The kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts. 072:011 Yes, all kings shall fall down before him. All nations shall serve him. 072:012 For he will deliver the needy when he cries; the poor, who has no helper. 072:013 He will have pity on the poor and needy. He will save the souls of the needy. 072:014 He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence. Their blood will be precious in his sight. 072:015 They shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba. Men shall pray for him continually. They shall bless him all day long. 072:016 There shall be abundance of grain throughout the land. Its fruit sways like Lebanon. Let it flourish, thriving like the grass of the field. 072:017 His name endures forever. His name continues as long as the sun. Men shall be blessed by him. All nations will call him blessed. 072:018 Praise be to Yahweh God, the God of Israel, who alone does marvelous deeds. 072:019 Blessed be his glorious name forever! Let the whole earth be filled with his glory! Amen and amen. 072:020 This ends the prayers by David, the son of Jesse. 073:001 <<A Psalm by Asaph.>> Surely God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart. 073:002 But as for me, my feet were almost gone. My steps had nearly slipped. 073:003 For I was envious of the arrogant, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. 073:004 For there are no struggles in their death, but their strength is firm. 073:005 They are free from burdens of men, neither are they plagued like other men. 073:006 Therefore pride is like a chain around their neck. Violence covers them like a garment. 073:007 Their eyes bulge with fat. Their minds pass the limits of conceit. 073:008 They scoff and speak with malice. In arrogance, they threaten oppression. 073:009 They have set their mouth in the heavens. Their tongue walks through the earth. 073:010 Therefore their people return to them, and they drink up waters of abundance. 073:011 They say, "How does God know? Is there knowledge in the Most High?" 073:012 Behold, these are the wicked. Being always at ease, they increase in riches. 073:013 Surely in vain I have cleansed my heart, and washed my hands in innocence, 073:014 For all day long have I been plagued, and punished every morning. 073:015 If I had said, "I will speak thus;" behold, I would have betrayed the generation of your children. 073:016 When I tried to understand this, it was too painful for me; 073:017 Until I entered God's sanctuary, and considered their latter end. 073:018 Surely you set them in slippery places. You throw them down to destruction.
