A Psalm for Solomon. Give
the king
thy judgments
, O God
, and thy righteousness
unto the king's
son
.
He shall judge thy people
with righteousness
, and thy poor
with judgment
.
The mountains shall bring
peace
to the people
, and the little hills
, by righteousness
.
He shall judge the poor
of the people
, he shall save
the children
of the needy
, and shall break in pieces
the oppressor
.
They shall fear thee as long as
the sun
and moon
endure
, throughout all
generations
.
He shall come down like rain
upon the mown
grass: as showers
that water
the earth
.
In his days shall the righteous
flourish
; and abundance
of peace
so long as the moon
endureth.
He shall have dominion also from sea
to sea
, and from the river
unto the ends
of the earth
.
They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow
before
him; and his enemies
shall lick
the dust
.
The kings of Tarshish
and of the isles
shall bring
presents
: the kings
of Sheba
and Seba
shall offer
gifts
.
Yea, all kings shall fall down
before him: all nations
shall serve
him.
For he shall deliver the needy
when he crieth
; the poor
also, and him that hath no helper
.
He shall spare the poor
and needy
, and shall save
the souls
of the needy
.
He shall redeem their soul
from deceit
and violence
: and precious
shall their blood
be in his sight
.
And he shall live, and to him shall be given
of the gold
of Sheba
: prayer also shall be made
for him continually
; and daily
shall he be praised
.
There shall be an handful of corn
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
.
His 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 blessed
.
Blessed be the LORD
God
, the God
of Israel
, who only doeth
wondrous things
.
And blessed be his glorious
name
for ever
: and let the whole earth
be filled
with his glory
; Amen
, and Amen
.
The prayers of David
the son
of Jesse
are ended
.
