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.
