Words and Music by Leslie aka Jesse Hughes ©
 (Adapted from Psalm 72)
    
Chorus:
Praise be to the Lord God, the Spirit of the Lord,
Who alone does marvelous deeds. 
Praise be to his glorious name forever;
May the whole earth be filled with his glory.
Amen and Amen. 

Endow the king with your justice, O God,
The royal son with your righteousness. 
He will judge your people in righteousness, 
Your afflicted ones with justice. 
The mountains will bring prosperity to the people, 
The hills the fruit of righteousness. 
He will defend the afflicted among the people 
And save the children of the needy;
For he will crush the oppressor. 

He will endure as long as the sun,
As long as the moon, through all generations. 
He will be like rain falling on a mown field,
Like showers watering the earth. 
In his days the righteous will flourish;
Prosperity will abound till the moon is no more. 

He will rule from sea to sea
And from the River to the ends of the earth 
The desert tribes will bow before him
And his enemies will lick the dust. 
The kings of Tarshish and of distant shores
Will bring tribute to him;
The kings of Sheba and Seba will present him gifts. 
All kings will bow down to him
And all nations will serve him. 
For he will deliver the needy who cry out,
The afflicted who have no one to help. 
He will take pity on the weak and the needy
And save the needy from death. 
He will rescue them from oppression and violence,
For precious is their blood in his sight. 

Long may he live!
May gold from Sheba be given him.
May people ever pray for him
And bless him all day long. 
Let grain abound throughout the land;
On the tops of the hills may it sway.
Let its fruit flourish like Lebanon;
Let it thrive like the grass of the field. 
May his name endure forever;
May it continue as long as the sun.

All nations will be blessed through him,
And they will call him blessed. 

I am a New Order, New Age and New Covenant Gospel Rock and Roller preaching the Gospel to the world in the tradition of Dylan and Springsteen.  My songs metaphorically interpret the Bible and book of Revelation, helping to shine a light upon Bob Dylan’s lyrical clues.  I serve the Spirit of the Lord, and dedicate my eternal Star to serving my King the Holy Spirit of Truth (Isaiah chapter 11 and 2 Corinthians 3:17) and proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor, the day of God’s Salvation and the New Covenant (Luke 4:18-19, Isaiah chapter 61, 2 Corinthians 6:1-2, Jeremiah 31:31-34, Hebrews 8:7-13) by measuring the temple, unsealing the scroll in the book of Revelation and preaching the true metaphoric interpretation of the Gospel to the world inspired by Mt 13:35 and Ps 78:2 that states “I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter things hidden since the creation of the world."
