A prayer of King Solomon. Oh, that all leaders would be so just and merciful…

O God, give the king your justice and the king’s son your righteousness so that he may judge your people with righteousness and your oppressed [people] with justice….

May he grant justice to the people who are oppressed. May he save the children of needy people and crush their oppressor….

He will rescue the needy person who cries for help and the oppressed person who has no one’s help.  He will have pity on the poor and needy and will save the lives of the needy. He will rescue them from oppression and violence. Their blood will be precious in his sight.

~ Excerpts from Psalm 72, God’s Word translation
