| [1]A Psalm of Solomon. Give the king Thy judgments, O God, and Thy righteousness unto the king's son; |
[No book] |
| [2]That he may judge Thy people with righteousness, and Thy poor with justice. |
[No book] |
| [3]Let the mountains bear peace to the people, and the hills, through righteousness. |
[No book] |
| [4]May he judge the poor of the people, and save the children of the needy, and crush the oppressor. |
[No book] |
| [5]They shall fear Thee while the sun endureth, and so long as the moon, throughout all generations. |
[No book] |
| [6]May he come down like rain upon the mown grass, as showers that water the earth. |
[No book] |
| [7]In his days let the righteous flourish, an abundance of peace, till the moon be no more. |
[No book] |
| [8]May he have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the River unto the ends of the earth. |
[No book] |
| [9]Let them that dwell in the wilderness bow before him; and his enemies lick the dust. |
[No book] |
| [10]The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall render tribute; the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts. |
[No book] |
| [11]Yea, all kings shall prostrate themselves before him; all nations shall serve him. |
[No book] |
| [12]For he will deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper. |
[No book] |
| [13]He will have pity on the poor and needy, and the souls of the needy he will save. |
[No book] |
| [14]He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence, and precious will their blood be in his sight. |
[No book] |
| [15]That they may live, and that he may give them of the gold of Sheba, that they may pray for him continually, yea, bless him all the day. |
[No book] |
| [16]May he be as a rich cornfield in the land upon the top of the mountains; may his fruit rustle like Lebanon; and may they blossom out of the city like grass of the earth. |
[No book] |
| [17]May his name endure for ever; may his name be continued as long as the sun; may men also bless themselves by him; may all nations call him happy. |
[No book] |
| [18]Blessed be 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things; |
[No book] |
| [19]And blessed be His glorious name for ever; and let the whole earth be filled with His glory. Amen, and Amen. |
