| 1 | God, give the king your justice; your righteousness to the royal son. |
| 2 | He will judge your people with righteousness, and your poor with justice. |
| 3 | The mountains shall bring prosperity to the people. The hills bring the fruit of righteousness. |
| 4 | He will judge the poor of the people. He will save the children of the needy, and will break the oppressor in pieces. |
| 5 | They shall fear you while the sun endures; and as long as the moon, throughout all generations. |
| 6 | He will come down like rain on the mown grass, as showers that water the earth. |
| 7 | In his days, the righteous shall flourish, and abundance of peace, until the moon is no more. |
| 8 | He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, from the River to the ends of the earth. |
| 9 | Those who dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him. His enemies shall lick the dust. |
| 10 | The kings of Tarshish and of the islands will bring tribute. The kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts. |
| 11 | Yes, all kings shall fall down before him. All nations shall serve him. |
| 12 | For he will deliver the needy when he cries; the poor, who has no helper. |
| 13 | He will have pity on the poor and needy. He will save the souls of the needy. |
| 14 | He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence. Their blood will be precious in his sight. |
| 15 | They shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba. Men shall pray for him continually. They shall bless him all day long. |
| 16 | Abundance of grain shall be throughout the land. Its fruit sways like Lebanon. Let it flourish, thriving like the grass of the field. |
| 17 | His name endures forever. His name continues as long as the sun. Men shall be blessed by him. All nations will call him blessed. |
| 18 | Praise be to Yahweh God, the God of Israel, who alone does marvelous deeds. |
| 19 | Blessed be his glorious name forever! Let the whole earth be filled with his glory! Amen and amen. |
| 20 | This ends the prayers by David, the son of Jesse. BOOK III Psalm 73 A Psalm by Asaph. |
