1 Of Solomon. O God geue vnto the kyng thy iudgementes: and thy ryghteousnesse vnto the kynges sonne. Give the king your justice, O God, and your righteousness to the royal son! Of Solomon. Endow the king with your justice, O God, the royal son with your righteousness.
2 Then he wyll iudge thy people accordyng vnto iustice: and thy afflicted accordyng to equitie. May he judge your people with righteousness, and your poor with justice! May he judge your people in righteousness, your afflicted ones with justice.
3 The mountaynes also and hylles: shall bryng peace to the people by the meanes of ryghteousnesse. Let the mountains bear prosperity for the people, and the hills, in righteousness! May the mountains bring prosperity to the people, the hills the fruit of righteousness.
4 He wyll iudge the afflicted amongst the people: he wyll saue the children of the poore, and subdue the oppressour. May he defend the cause of the poor of the people, give deliverance to the children of the needy, and crush the oppressor! May he defend the afflicted among the people and save the children of the needy; may he crush the oppressor.
5 They wyll feare thee as long as the sunne and moone shyneth: from one generation to another. May they fear you while the sun endures, and as long as the moon, throughout all generations! May he endure as long as the sun, as long as the moon, through all generations.
6 He wyll come downe lyke the rayne into a fleece of wooll: euen as the droppes that water the earth. May he be like rain that falls on the mown grass, like showers that water the earth! May he be like rain falling on a mown field, like showers watering the earth.
7 In his dayes the ryghteous wyll florishe: and there shalbe aboundaunce of peace so long as the moone endureth. In his days may the righteous flourish, and peace abound, till the moon be no more! In his days may the righteous flourish and prosperity abound till the moon is no more.
8 His dominion also shalbe from the one sea to the other: and from the fludde vnto the ende of the earth. May he have dominion from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth! May he rule from sea to sea and from the River to the ends of the earth.
9 They that dwell in the wildernesse shal kneele before him: his enemies shal licke the dust. May desert tribes bow down before him, and his enemies lick the dust! May the desert tribes bow before him and his enemies lick the dust.
10 The kyng of Tharsis and of the Iles shall offer presentes: the kynges of Sheba & Seba shall bring giftes. May the kings of Tarshish and of the coastlands render him tribute; may the kings of Sheba and Seba bring gifts! May the kings of Tarshish and of distant shores bring tribute to him. May the kings of Sheba and Seba present him gifts.
11 All kynges wyll worshyp hym: all nations wyll do hym seruice. May all kings fall down before him, all nations serve him! May all kings bow down to him and all nations serve him.
12 For he wyll delyuer the poore when he cryeth: and the afflicted and hym that hath no helper. For he delivers the needy when he calls, the poor and him who has no helper. For he will deliver the needy who cry out, the afflicted who have no one to help.
13 He wyll haue compassion vpon the poore and needy: and he wyll preserue the soules of the poore. He has pity on the weak and the needy, and saves the lives of the needy. He will take pity on the weak and the needy and save the needy from death.
14 He wyll delyuer their soules from deceipt and oppression: and their blood shalbe in his syght. From oppression and violence he redeems their life, and precious is their blood in his sight. He will rescue them from oppression and violence, for precious is their blood in his sight.
15 He wyll lyue, and he wyll geue to the poore of the golde of Sheba: and he wyll pray alwayes for hym, and dayly he wyll blesse hym. Long may he live; may gold of Sheba be given to him! May prayer be made for him continually, and blessings invoked for him all the day! Long may he live! May gold from Sheba be given him. May people ever pray for him and bless him all day long.
16 A handfull of corne shall be sowed in the earth vpon the toppe of hylles: and the fruite therof shall make a noyse lyke Libanus, and shall florishe in the citie lyke grasse vpon the earth. May there be abundance of grain in the land; on the tops of the mountains may it wave; may its fruit be like Lebanon; and may people blossom in the cities like the grass of the field! May grain abound throughout the land; on the tops of the hills may it sway. May the crops flourish like Lebanon and thrive like the grass of the field.
17 His name shall endure for euer, his name shalbe spread abrode to the world so long as the sunne shall shyne: all nations shalbe blessed in hym, and shall call hym blessed. May his name endure forever, his fame continue as long as the sun! May people be blessed in him, all nations call him blessed! May his name endure forever; may it continue as long as the sun. Then all nations will be blessed through him, and they will call him blessed.
18 Blessed be God the Lorde: the Lorde of Israel which only doth wonderous thynges. Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who alone does wondrous things. Praise be to the LORD God, the God of Israel, who alone does marvelous deeds.
19 And blessed be the name of his maiestie for euer: and all the earth shalbe fylled with his maiestie. Amen, Amen. Blessed be his glorious name forever; may the whole earth be filled with his glory! Amen and Amen! Praise be to his glorious name forever; may the whole earth be filled with his glory. Amen and Amen.
