[1] O God geue vnto the kyng thy iudgementes: and thy ryghteousnesse vnto the kynges sonne [1]Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the king's son.
[2][Then] he wyll iudge thy people accordyng vnto iustice: and thy afflicted accordyng to equitie [2]He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment.

[12]For he wyll delyuer the poore when he cryeth: and the afflicted and hym that hath no helper [12]For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper.
[13]He wyll haue compassion vpon the poore and needy: and he wyll preserue the soules of the poore [13]He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy.
[14]He wyll delyuer their soules from deceipt and oppression: and their blood shalbe in his syght [14]He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood be in his sight.

[17]His name shall endure for euer, his name shalbe spread abrode to the world so long as the sunne shall shyne: all nations shalbe blessed in hym, and shall call hym blessed [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 blessed.
[18]Blessed be God the Lorde: the Lorde of Israel which only doth wonderous thynges [18]Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things.
[19](72:19a) And blessed be the name of his maiestie for euer: and all the earth shalbe fylled with his maiestie. Amen, Amen [19]And blessed be his glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled with his glory; Amen, and Amen.
