A Psalm of Solomon.
Give the king [knowledge of] Your judgments, O God,
And [the spirit of] Your righteousness to the king’s son [to guide all his ways].
The mountains will bring peace and prosperity to the people,
And the hills, in [the establishment of] righteousness.
May he bring justice to the poor among the people,
Save the children of the needy
And crush the oppressor,
Let them fear You [with awe-inspired reverence and worship You with obedience] while the sun endures,
And as long as the moon [reflects light], throughout all generations.
The kings of Tarshish and of the islands will bring offerings;
The kings of Sheba and Seba will offer gifts.
For he will rescue the needy when he cries for help,
The afflicted and abused also, and him who has no helper.
He will redeem their life from oppression and fraud and violence,
And their blood will be precious in His sight.
So may he live, and may the gold of Sheba be given to him;
And let them pray for him continually;
Let them bless and praise him all day long.
May his name endure forever;
May his name continue as long as the sun;
And let men bless themselves by him;
Let all nations call him blessed.
Blessed be His glorious name forever;
And may the whole earth be filled with His glory.
Amen and Amen.
