¹God, give the king your justice;

your righteousness to the royal son.

²He will judge your people with righteousness,

and your poor with justice.

³The mountains will bring prosperity to the people.

The hills bring the fruit of righteousness.

⁴He will judge the poor of the people.

He will save the children of the needy,

and will break the oppressor in pieces.

⁵They will fear you while the sun endures;

and as long as the moon, throughout all generations.

⁶He will come down like rain on the mown grass,

as showers that water the earth.

⁷In his days, the righteous will flourish,

and abundance of peace, until the moon is no more.

⁸May he have dominion also from sea to sea,

from the River to the ends of the earth.

⁹May those who dwell in the wilderness bow before him.

and his enemies lick the dust.

¹⁰The kings of Tarshish and of the islands bring tribute.

The kings of Sheba and Seba offer gifts.

¹¹Yes, all kings will fall down before him,

and all nations serve him.

¹²For he will deliver the needy who cry out;

the poor, who has no helper.

¹³Hᴇ will have pity on the poor and needy.

Hᴇ will save the lives of the needy.

¹⁴Hᴇ will rescue their lives from oppression and violence.

Their blood will be precious in ʜɪꜱ sight.

¹⁵He will live; and Sheba’s gold will be given to him.

Men will pray for him continually.

They will bless him all day long.

¹⁶May there be an abundance of grain throughout the land.

Its fruit sways like Lebanon.

Let it flourish, thriving like the grass of the field.

¹⁷May his name endure forever,

as long as the sun shines.

May the nations be blessed by ʜɪᴍ,

and call ʜɪᴍ blessed.

¹⁸Praise be to YHWH God, the God of Israel,

who alone does marvelous deeds.

¹⁹Blessed be ʜɪꜱ glorious name forever!

Let the whole earth be filled with ʜɪꜱ glory!

Amen and amen.

²⁰This ends the prayers by David, the son of Jesse.
