The critical study of Ps 72:5 has shown that the text is homogeneous in all the manuscripts, een in the Targum, the Syriac Version, Symmacus and Jerome. The Lxx tried to improve the text and to conform it to its context. The ipothesis of the dependance of the Lxx upon the Hebrew text has been analyzed in the second part. In the last part the parallel texts of Jer 26:20-23, 1K 1:41-53 and 1K 3:16-28 are taken into consideration. The verb YRAH of Ps 72:5 indicates the juridical power requested from the king to bring peace.
