|
|
1 |
A Psalm of Solomon.
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. |
