¹ [A Psalm] of Solomon. Give the king Thy judgments, O God, and Thy righteousness unto the king's son;

² That he may judge Thy people with righteousness, and Thy poor with justice.³ Let the mountains bear peace to the people, and the hills, through righteousness.⁴ May he judge the poor of the people, and save the children of the needy, and crush the oppressor.⁵ They shall fear Thee while the sun endureth, and so long as the moon, throughout all generations.⁶ May he come down like rain upon the mown grass, as showers that water the earth.⁷ In his days let the righteous flourish, and abundance of peace, till the moon be no more.⁸ May he have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the River unto the ends of the earth.⁹ Let them that dwell in the wilderness bow before him; and his enemies lick the dust.¹⁰ The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall render tribute; ¹¹ Yea, all kings shall prostrate themselves before him; all nations shall serve him.¹² For he will deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper.¹³ He will have pity on the poor and needy, and the souls of the needy he will save.¹⁴ He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence, and precious will their blood be in his sight;¹⁵ That they may live, and that he may give them of the gold of Sheba, ¹⁶ May he be as a rich cornfield in the land upon the top of the mountains; ¹⁷ May his name endure for ever; may his name be continued as long as the sun;

¹⁸ Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things;¹⁹ And blessed be His glorious name for ever; ²⁰ The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
