Psalm 72:4

A Prayer For The King

³ The mountains shall bring peace to the people, And the hills, in righteousness. ⁴ He will judge the poor of the people, He will save the children of the needy, And will break in pieces the oppressor. ⁵ They shall fear thee while the sun endureth, And so long as the moon, throughout all generations.
