[1] Give the king thy judgments, O God, And thy righteousness unto the king’s son.
[1] ---
[2] He will judge thy people with righteousness, And thy poor with justice.
[2] ---
[3] The mountains shall bring peace to the people, And the hills, in righteousness.
[3] ---
[4] He will judge the poor of the people, He will save the children of the needy, And will break in pieces the oppressor.
[4] ---
[5] They shall fear thee while the sun endureth, And so long as the moon, throughout all generations.
[5] ---
[6] He will come down like rain upon the mown grass, As showers that water the earth.
[6] ---
[7] In his days shall the righteous flourish, And abundance of peace, till the moon be no more.
[7] ---
[8] He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, And from the River unto the ends of the earth.
[8] ---
[9] They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; And his enemies shall lick the dust.
[9] ---
[10] The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall render tribute: The kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
[10] ---
[11] Yea, all kings shall fall down before him; All nations shall serve him.
[11] ---
[12] For he will deliver the needy when he crieth, And the poor, that hath no helper.
[12] ---
[13] He will have pity on the poor and needy, And the souls of the needy he will save.
[13] ---
[14] He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence; And precious will their blood be in his sight:
[14] ---
[15] And they shall live; and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: And men shall pray for him continually; They shall bless him all the day long.
[15] ---
[16] There shall be abundance of grain in the earth upon the top of the mountains; The fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon: And they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.
[16] ---
[17] His name shall endure for ever; His name shall be continued as long as the sun: And men shall be blessed in him; All nations shall call him happy.
[17] ---
[18] Blessed be Jehovah God, the God of Israel, Who only doeth wondrous things:
[18] ---
[19] And blessed be his glorious name for ever; And let the whole earth be filled with his glory. Amen, and Amen.
[19] ---
[20] The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
