✧[A Psalm] of Solomon. Give the king thy judgments, O God, And thy righteousness unto the king’s son. ✧2He will judge thy people with righteousness, And thy poor with justice. ✧3The mountains shall bring peace to the people, And the hills, in righteousness. ✧4He will judge the poor of the people, He will save the children of the needy, And will break in pieces the oppressor. ✧5They shall fear thee while the sun endureth, And so long as the moon, throughout all generations. ✧6He will come down like rain upon the mown grass, As showers that water the earth. ✧7In his days shall the righteous flourish, And abundance of peace, till the moon be no more. ✧8He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, And from the River unto the ends of the earth. ✧9They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; And his enemies shall lick the dust. ✧10The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall render tribute: The kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts. ✧11Yea, all kings shall fall down before him; All nations shall serve him. ✧12For he will deliver the needy when he crieth, And the poor, that hath no helper. ✧13He will have pity on the poor and needy, And the souls of the needy he will save. ✧14He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence; And precious will their blood be in his sight: ✧15And they shall live; and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: And men shall pray for him continually; They shall bless him all the day long. ✧16There shall be abundance of grain in the earth upon the top of the mountains; The fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon: And they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth. ✧17His 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 happy. ✧18Blessed be Jehovah God, the God of Israel, Who only doeth wondrous things: ✧19And blessed be his glorious name for ever; And let the whole earth be filled with his glory. Amen, and Amen. ✧20The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
