1Of Solomon. Endow the king with Your justice, O God, and the son of the king with Your righteousness.1A Psalm of Solomon. Give the king Your judgments, O God, And Your righteousness to the king's son.
2May he judge Your people with righteousness and Your afflicted with justice.2May he judge Your people with righteousness And Your afflicted with justice.
3May the mountains bring peace to the people, and the hills bring righteousness.3Let the mountains bring peace to the people, And the hills, in righteousness.
4May he vindicate the afflicted among the people; may he save the children of the needy and crush the oppressor.4May he vindicate the afflicted of the people, Save the children of the needy And crush the oppressor.
5May they fear him as long as the sun shines, as long as the moon remains, through all generations.5Let them fear You while the sun endures, And as long as the moon, throughout all generations.
6May he be like rain that falls on freshly cut grass, like spring showers that water the earth.6May he come down like rain upon the mown grass, Like showers that water the earth.
7May the righteous flourish in his days and prosperity abound, until the moon is no more.7In his days may the righteous flourish, And abundance of peace till the moon is no more.
8May he rule from sea to sea, and from the Euphrates to the ends of the earth.8May he also rule from sea to sea And from the River to the ends of the earth.
9May the nomads bow before him, and his enemies lick the dust.9Let the nomads of the desert bow before him, And his enemies lick the dust.
10May the kings of Tarshish and distant shores bring tribute; may the kings of Sheba and Seba offer gifts.10Let the kings of Tarshish and of the islands bring presents; The kings of Sheba and Seba offer gifts.
11May all kings bow down to him and all nations serve him.11And let all kings bow down before him, All nations serve him.
12For he will deliver the needy who cry out and the afflicted who have no helper.12For he will deliver the needy when he cries for help, The afflicted also, and him who has no helper.
13He will take pity on the poor and needy and save the lives of the oppressed.13He will have compassion on the poor and needy, And the lives of the needy he will save.
14He will redeem them from oppression and violence, for their blood is precious in his sight.14He will rescue their life from oppression and violence, And their blood will be precious in his sight;
15Long may he live! May gold from Sheba be given him. May people ever pray for him; may they bless him all day long.15So may he live, and may the gold of Sheba be given to him; And let them pray for him continually; Let them bless him all day long.
16May there be an abundance of grain in the land; may it sway atop the hills. May its fruit trees flourish like the forests of Lebanon, and its people like the grass of the field.16May there be abundance of grain in the earth on top of the mountains; Its fruit will wave like the cedars of Lebanon; And may those from the city flourish like vegetation of the earth.
17May his name endure forever; may his name continue as long as the sun shines. In him may all nations be blessed; may they call him blessed.17May his name endure forever; May his name increase as long as the sun shines; And let men bless themselves by him; Let all nations call him blessed.
18Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who alone does marvelous deeds.18Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, Who alone works wonders.
19And blessed be His glorious name forever; may all the earth be filled with His glory. Amen and amen.19And blessed be His glorious name forever; And may the whole earth be filled with His glory. Amen, and Amen.
20Thus conclude the prayers of David son of Jesse.20The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
