¹ A Psalme of Salomon. Giue thy iudgements to the King, O God, and thy righteousnesse to the Kings sonne.

² Then shal he iudge thy people in righteousnesse, and thy poore with equitie.³ The mountaines & the hilles shall bring peace to the people by iustice.⁴ He shall iudge the poore of the people: he shall saue the children of the needie, and shal subdue the oppressor.⁵ They shall feare thee as long as the sunne and moone endureth, fro generatio to generation.⁶ He shall come downe like the rayne vpon the mowen grasse, and as the showres that water the earth.⁷ In his dayes shall the righteous florish, and abundance of peace shalbe so long as the moone endureth.⁸ His dominion shall be also from sea to sea, and from the Riuer vnto the endes of the land.⁹ They that dwell in ye wildernes, shall kneele before him, and his enemies shall licke the dust.¹⁰ The Kings of Tarshish & of the yles shall bring presents: the Kings of Sheba and Seba shall bring giftes.¹¹ Yea, all Kings shal worship him: all nations shall serue him.¹² For he shall deliuer the poore when he cryeth: the needie also, and him that hath no helper.¹³ He shalbe mercifull to the poore and needie, and shall preserue the soules of the poore.¹⁴ He shall redeeme their soules from deceite and violence, and deare shall their blood be in his sight.¹⁵ Yea, he shall liue, and vnto him shall they giue of the golde of Sheba: they shall also pray for him continually, and dayly blesse him.¹⁶ An handfull of corne shall be sowen in the earth, euen in the toppe of the mountaines, and the fruite thereof shall shake like the trees of Lebanon: and the children shall florish out of the citie like the grasse of the earth.¹⁷ His name shall be for euer: his name shall indure as long as the sunne: all nations shall blesse him, and be blessed in him.

¹⁸ Blessed be the Lorde God, euen the God of Israel, which onely doeth wonderous things.¹⁹ And blessed be his glorious Name for euer: and let all the earth be filled with his glorie. So be it, euen so be it. ²⁰ Here end the prayers of Dauid, the sonne of Ishai.
