      | ¶ | [[[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. |
