| [1]Give thy judgments to the king, O God, and thy righteousness to the king's son. |
[1]By Solomon. O God, Thy judgments to the king give, And Thy righteousness to the king's son. |
| [2]Then shall he judge thy people in righteousness, and thy poor with equity. |
[2]He judgeth Thy people with righteousness, And Thy poor with judgment. |
| [3]The mountains and the hills shall bring peace to the people by justice. |
[3]The mountains bear peace to the people, And the heights by righteousness. |
| [4]He shall judge the poor of the people: he shall save the children of the needy, and shall subdue the oppressor. |
[4]He judgeth the poor of the people, Giveth deliverance to the sons of the needy, And bruiseth the oppressor. |
| [5]They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endureth, from generation to generation. |
[5]They fear Thee with the sun, and before the moon, Generation -- generations. |
| [6]He shall come down like the rain upon the mown grass, and as the showers that water the earth. |
[6]He cometh down as rain on mown grass, As showers -- sprinkling the earth. |
| [7]In his days shall the righteous flourish, and abundance of peace shall be so long as the moon endureth. |
[7]Flourish in his days doth the righteous, And abundance of peace till the moon is not. |
| [8]His dominion shall be also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the land. |
[8]And he ruleth from sea unto sea, And from the river unto the ends of earth. |
| [9]They that dwell in the wilderness, shall kneel before him, and his enemies shall lick the dust. |
[9]Before him bow do the inhabitants of the dry places, And his enemies lick the dust. |
| [10]The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Sheba shall bring gifts. |
[10]Kings of Tarshish and of the isles send back a present. Kings of Sheba and Seba a reward bring near. |
| [11]Yea, all kings shall worship him: all nations shall serve him. |
[11]And all kings do bow themselves to him, All nations do serve him, |
| [12]For he shall deliver the poor when he cryeth: the needy also, and him that hath no helper. |
[12]For he delivereth the needy who crieth, And the poor when he hath no helper, |
| [13]He shall be merciful to the poor and needy, and shall preserve the souls of the poor. |
[13]He hath pity on the poor and needy, And the souls of the needy he saveth, |
| [14]He shall redeem their souls from deceit and violence, and dear shall their blood be in his sight. |
[14]From fraud and from violence he redeemeth their soul, And precious is their blood in his eyes. |
| [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. |
[15]And he liveth, and giveth to him of the gold of Sheba, And prayeth for him continually, All the day he doth bless him. |
| [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. |
[16]There is a handful of corn in the earth, On the top of mountains, Shake like Lebanon doth its fruit, And they flourish out of the city as the herb of the earth. |
| [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. |
[17]His name is to the age, Before the sun is his name continued, And they bless themselves in him, All nations do pronounce him happy. |
| [18]Blessed be the Lord God, even the God of Israel, which only doeth wondrous things. |
[18]Blessed is Jehovah God, God of Israel, He alone is doing wonders, |
| [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. |
[19]And blessed [is] the Name of His honour to the age, And the whole earth is filled [with] His honour. Amen, and amen! |
