| 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.
