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.
