Next Chapter |
|
|
|
1 |
Give the king thy
judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the king’s son.
|
|
|
2 |
He shall judge thy
people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment.
|
|
3 |
The mountains shall
bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness.
|
|
4 |
He shall judge the
poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break
in pieces the oppressor.
|
|
5 |
They shall fear thee
as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations.
|
|
6 |
He shall come down
like rain upon the mown grass: as showers that water the earth.
|
|
7 |
In his days shall
the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth.
|
|
8 |
He shall have
dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the
earth.
|
|
9 |
They that dwell in
the wilderness shall bow before him; and his enemies shall lick the dust.
|
|
10 |
The kings of
Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba
shall offer gifts.
|
|
11 |
Yea, all kings shall
fall down before him: all nations shall serve him.
|
|
12 |
For he shall deliver
the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper.
|
|
13 |
He shall spare the
poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy.
|
|
14 |
He shall redeem
their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood be in
his sight.
|
|
15 |
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.
|
|
16 |
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.
|
|
17 |
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.
|
|
18 |
Blessed be the LORD
God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things.
|
|
19 |
And blessed be his
glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled with his glory;
Amen, and Amen.
|
|
20 |
The prayers of David
the son of Jesse are ended. |
