¹ <> God, give the king your justice; Your righteousness to the royal son.

² He will judge your people with righteousness, And your poor with justice. ³ The mountains shall bring prosperity to the people; The hills bring the fruit of righteousness. ⁴ He will judge the poor of the people. He will save the children of the needy, And will break the oppressor in pieces. ⁵ They shall fear you while the sun endures; And as long as the moon, throughout all generations. ⁶ He will come down like rain on the mown grass, As showers that water the eretz. ⁷ In his days, the righteous shall flourish, And abundance of shalom, until the moon is no more. ⁸ He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, From the River to the ends of the eretz. ⁹ Those who dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him. His enemies shall lick the dust. ¹⁰ The kings of Tarshish and of the isles will bring tribute. The kings of Sheva and Seva shall offer gifts. ¹¹ Yes, all kings shall fall down before him. All nations shall serve him. ¹² For he will deliver the needy when he cries; The poor, who has no helper. ¹³ He will have pity on the poor and needy. He will save the souls of the needy. ¹⁴ He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence. Their blood will be precious in his sight. ¹⁵ They shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheva. Men shall pray for him continually. They shall bless him all day long. ¹⁶ There shall be abundance of grain throughout the land. Its fruit sways like Levanon. Let it flourish, thriving like the grass of the field. ¹⁷ His name endures forever. His name continues as long as the sun. Men shall be blessed by him. All nations will call him blessed.

¹⁸ Praise be to the LORD God, the God of Yisra'el, Who alone does marvelous deeds. ¹⁹ Blessed be his glorious name forever! Let the whole eretz be filled with his glory! Amein and amein. ²⁰ This ends the prayers by David, the son of Yishai.
