The King Is Coming: “For He Will Deliver The Needy When They Cry Out!”

The King is Coming

By Psalmist King David – 1,000 B.C.

Endow the king with your justice, O God,

    the royal son with your righteousness.
    May he judge your people in righteousness,
    your afflicted ones with justice.

May the mountains bring prosperity to the people,

    the hills the fruit of righteousness.
    May he defend the afflicted among the people,
    and save the children of the needy;
    may he crush the oppressor.

May he endure as long as the sun,

    as long as the moon, through all generations.
    May he be like rain falling on a mown field,
    like showers watering the earth.
    In his days may the righteous flourish,
    and prosperity abound till the moon is no more.

May he rule from sea to sea,
    and from the River to the ends of the earth.
    May the desert tribes bow before him
    and his enemies lick the dust. . .
    May all kings bow down to him
    and all nations serve him.

For he will deliver the needy when they 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 people ever pray for him
    and bless him all day long. . .
    May grain abound throughout the land;
    on the tops of the hills may it sway. . .
    May his name endure forever;
    may it continue as long as the sun.

Then all nations will be blessed through him,

    and they will call him blessed.
    Praise be to the Lord God, the God of Israel,
    who alone does marvelous deeds.
    Praise be to his glorious name forever;
    may the whole earth be filled with his glory.
    Amen and Amen.  Psalm 72
 

The King is Coming

By Bill and Gloria Gaither – 1974 A. D.

 
The King is coming, the King is coming,
I just heard the trumpet sounding and soon His face I'll see.
The King is coming, the King is coming,
Praise God, He's coming for me.

The marketplace is empty, no more traffic in the street.

All the builder's tools are silent, no more time to harvest wheat.
Busy housewives cease their labor, in the courtroom no debate.
Work on earth has been suspended as the King comes through the gate.

Happy faces line the hallway, those whose lives have been redeemed.
Broken homes He has mended, those from prison He has freed.
Little children and the aged hand in hand stand all aglow.
Who were crippled, broken, ruined, clad in garments white as snow.
