1
[{A Psalm} for Solomon.] Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the king's son. {for: or, of}
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. {so long...: Heb. till there be no moon}
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. {shall be given: Heb. one shall give}
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. {endure: Heb. be} {his name shall be...: Heb. shall be as a son to continue his father's name for ever}
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.
