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 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.
