¹ Give the king Your judgments, O God, And Your righteousness to the king's Son.

² He will judge Your people with righteousness, And Your poor with justice. ³ The mountains will bring peace to the people, And the little hills, by righteousness. ⁴ He will bring justice to the poor of the people; He will save the children of the needy, And will break in pieces the oppressor. ⁵ They shall fear You [fn] As long as the sun and moon endure,Throughout all generations. ⁶ He shall come down like rain upon the grass before mowing, Like showers that water the earth. ⁷ In His days the righteous shall flourish, And abundance of peace, Until the moon is no more. ⁸ He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, And from the River to the ends of the earth. ⁹ Those who dwell in the wilderness will bow before Him, And His enemies will lick the dust. ¹⁰ The kings of Tarshish and of the isles Will bring presents; The kings of Sheba and Seba Will 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 also, and him who has no helper. ¹³ He will spare the poor and needy, And will save the souls of the needy. ¹⁴ He will redeem their life from oppression and violence; And precious shall be their blood in His sight. ¹⁵ And He shall live; And the gold of Sheba will be given to Him; Prayer also will be made for Him continually, And daily He shall be praised. ¹⁶ There will be an abundance of grain in the earth, On the top of the mountains; Its fruit shall wave like Lebanon; And those of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth. ¹⁷ His name shall endure forever; His name shall continue as long as the sun. And men shall be blessed in Him; All nations shall call Him blessed.

¹⁸ Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, Who only does wondrous things! ¹⁹ And blessed be His glorious name forever! And let the whole earth be filled with His glory. Amen and Amen. ²⁰ The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
