Afternoon Prayer

Psalms 72:1-2, 3-4, 7-8 1 [Of Solomon] God, endow the king with your own fair judgement, the son of the king with your own saving justice, 2 that he may rule your people with justice, and your poor with fair judgement. 3 Mountains and hills, bring peace to the people! With justice 4 he will judge the poor of the people, he will save the children of the needy and crush their oppressors. 7 In his days uprightness shall flourish, and peace in plenty till the moon is no more. 8 His empire shall stretch from sea to sea, from the river to the limits of the earth.
