Give the King thy judgements by Henry Loosemore — Lyrics
Give the King thy judgements, O God: and thy righteousness unto the King's Son.
In his time shall the righteous flourish: Yea, and abundance of peace, so long as the Moon endureth.
His Dominion shall be also from the one Sea to the other: and from the flood unto the world's end.
His name shall endure for ever; his name shall remain under the Sun among the Posterities:

About Give the King thy judgements
Henry Loosemore's Give the King thy judgements is a substantial setting for SSAATBB, AATTBBB voices of Psalm 72, verses 1-7 and 17-19. The text, in English, is a prayer for Solomon's wisdom and justice, and for the universal reign of peace under a righteous king. It speaks of a dominion stretching across the earth and an everlasting name that shall be blessed. The anthem's grand scope and detailed vocal writing make it a powerful statement of faith and kingship. This sacred work would be an impressive addition to a choir's repertoire, offering rich harmonic textures and opportunities for expressive vocal performance.
