[[A Psalm Chapter of Salomon.]]
[1]Give thy judgments to the king, O God, and thy righteousness to the king's son. [No book]
[2]Then shall he judge thy people in righteousness, and thy poor with equity. [No book]
[3]The mountains and the hills shall bring peace to the people by justice. [No book]
[4]He shall judge the poor of the people: he shall save the children of the needy, and shall subdue the oppressor. [No book]
[5]They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endureth, from generation to generation. [No book]
[6]He shall come down like the rain upon the mown grass, and as the showers that water the earth. [No book]
[7]In his days shall the righteous flourish, and abundance of peace shall be so long as the moon endureth. [No book]
[8]His dominion shall be also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the land. [No book]
[9]They that dwell in the wilderness, shall kneel before him, and his enemies shall lick the dust. [No book]
[10]The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Sheba shall bring gifts. [No book]
[11]Yea, all kings shall worship him: all nations shall serve him. [No book]
[12]For he shall deliver the poor when he cryeth: the needy also, and him that hath no helper. [No book]
[13]He shall be merciful to the poor and needy, and shall preserve the souls of the poor. [No book]
[14]He shall redeem their souls from deceit and violence, and dear shall their blood be in his sight. [No book]
[15]Yea, he shall live, and unto him shall they give of the gold of Sheba: they shall also pray for him continually, and daily bless him. [No book]
[16]An handful of corn shall be sown in the earth, even in the top of the mountains, and the fruit thereof shall shake like the trees of Lebanon: and the children shall flourish out of the city like the grass of the earth. [No book]
[17]His name shall be forever: his name shall endure as long as the sun: all nations shall bless him, and be blessed in him. [No book]
[18]Blessed be the Lord God, even the God of Israel, which only doeth wondrous things. [No book]
[19]And blessed be his glorious name forever: and let all the earth be filled with his glory. So be it, even so be it. [No book]
[20]Here end the prayers of David, the son of Jesse. [No book]
