O God, who by the leading of a star manifested your only Son
to the Peoples of the earth: Lead us, who know you now by faith, to your
presence, where we may see your glory face to face; through Jesus Christ our
Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
Amen
1 Give the king your justice, O God,
and your
righteousness to the royal son!
2 May he judge your people with righteousness,
and your poor with
justice!
3 Let the mountains bear prosperity for the people,
and the hills, in
righteousness!
4 May he defend the cause of the poor of the people,
give deliverance
to the children of the needy,
and crush the oppressor!
5 May they fear you while the sun endures,
and as long as the
moon, throughout all generations!
6 May he be like rain that falls on the mown grass,
like showers that
water the earth!
7 In his days may the righteous flourish,
and peace abound,
till the moon be no more!
Psalm 72 – English Standard Version
