| 1 | (A Psalm for Solomon.) 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. |
