Give your love of justice to the king, O God, and righteousness to the king's son.

Help him judge your people in the right way; let the poor always be treated fairly.

May the mountains yield prosperity for all, and may the hills be fruitful. Help him to defend the poor, to rescue the children of the needy, and to crush their oppressors.

Psalm 72:1-4 NLT

If this song was written about today, not much would change. 

It's a call for justice because children are being oppressed.

It's a call defend the poor because they don't get the same deal as the wealthy in this world. 

Its a call to share the wealth of the world, there's plenty. 

It's a call to those with power to use it to help those who have less. 

It's a call to those with power to understand God's heart for justice and to live that out.

This song let's us know that if we're in need, have been hurt, are poor, have been oppressed, are powerless, that our God is for you. 

You're not alone.

And in those places and spaces where we do have power may we live out our God's love for justice.
