- 1. <By Solomon.><br>
God, give the king your justice; your righteousness to the royal son. - 2. He will judge your people with righteousness, and your poor with justice.
- 3. The mountains shall bring prosperity to the people. The hills bring the fruit of righteousness.
- 4. He will judge the poor of the people. He will save the children of the needy, and will break the oppressor in pieces.
- 5. They shall fear you while the sun endures; and as long as the moon, throughout all generations.
- 6. He will come down like rain on the mown grass, as showers that water the earth.
- 7. In his days, the righteous shall flourish, and abundance of peace, until the moon is no more.
- 8. He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, from the River to the ends of the earth.
- 9. Those who dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him. His enemies shall lick the dust.
- 10. The kings of Tarshish and of the islands will bring tribute. The kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
- 11. Yes, all kings shall fall down before him. All nations shall serve him.
- 12. For he will deliver the needy when he cries; the poor, who has no helper.
- 13. He will have pity on the poor and needy. He will save the souls of the needy.
- 14. He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence. Their blood will be precious in his sight.
- 15. They shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba. Men shall pray for him continually. They shall bless him all day long.
- 16. There shall be abundance of grain throughout the land. Its fruit sways like Lebanon. Let it flourish, thriving like the grass of the field.
- 17. His name endures forever. His name continues as long as the sun. Men shall be blessed by him. All nations will call him blessed.
- 18. Praise be to Yahweh God, the God of Israel, who alone does marvelous deeds.
- 19. Blessed be his glorious name forever! Let the whole earth be filled with his glory! Amen and amen.
- 20. This ends the prayers by David, the son of Jesse.
