[1]A psalm on Solomon. [2]Give to the king thy judgment, O God: and to the king's son thy justice: To judge thy people with justice, and thy poor with judgment. [3]Let the mountains receive peace for the people: and the hills justice. [4]He shall judge the poor of the people, and he shall save the children of the poor: and he shall humble the oppressor. [5]And he shall continue with the sun, and before the moon, throughout all generations. [6]He shall come down like rain upon the fleece; and as showers falling gently upon the earth. [7]In his days shall justice spring up, and abundance of peace, till the moon be taken sway. [8]And he shall rule from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth. [9]Before him the Ethiopians shall fall down: and his enemies shall lick the ground. [10]The kings of Tharsis and the islands shall offer presents: the kings of the Arabians and of Saba shall bring gifts: [11]And all kings of the earth shall adore him: all nations shall serve him. [12]For he shall deliver the poor from the mighty: and the needy that had no helper. [13]He shall spare the poor and needy: and he shall save the souls of the poor. [14]He shall redeem their souls from usuries and iniquity: and their names shall be honourable in his sight. [15]And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Arabia, for him they shall always adore: they shall bless him all the day. [16]And there shall be a firmament on the earth on the tops of mountains, above Libanus shall the fruit thereof be exalted : and they of the city shall flourish like the grass of the earth. [17]Let his name be blessed for evermore : his name continueth before the sun. And in him shall all the tribes of the earth be blessed: all nations shall magnify him. [18]Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, who alone doth wonderful things. [19]And blessed be the name of his majesty for ever: and the whole earth shall be filled with his majesty. So be it. So be it. [20]The praises of David, the son of Jesse, are ended.
