1 <V 71:1>A Psalm according to Solomon. 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 <V 71:2>Give your judgment, O God, to the king, and your justice to the king’s son, to judge your people with justice and your poor with judgment. 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 <V 71:3>Let the mountains take up peace for the people, and the hills, justice. 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 <V 71:4>He will judge the poor of the people, and he will bring salvation to the sons of the poor. And he will humble the false accuser. 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 <V 71:5>And he will remain, with the sun and before the moon, from generation to generation. 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 <V 71:6>He will descend like rain upon fleece, and like showers showering upon 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 <V 71:7>In his days, justice will rise like the sun, with abundance of peace, until the moon is taken away. 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 <V 71:8>And he will rule from sea to sea and from the river to the limits of the whole world. 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 <V 71:9>In his sight, the Ethiopians will fall prostrate, and his enemies will lick the ground. 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 <V 71:10>The kings of Tarshish and the islands will offer gifts. The kings of Arabia and of Seba will bring gifts. 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 <V 71:11>And all the kings of the earth shall adore him. All nations will serve him. May all kings fall down before him, all nations serve him! May all kings bow down to him and all nations serve him.
12 <V 71:12>For he will free the poor from the powerful, and the poor one who has 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 <V 71:13>He will spare the poor and the indigent, and he will bring salvation to the souls of the poor. 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 <V 71:14>He will redeem their souls from usuries and from iniquity, and their names shall be honorable in his sight. 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 <V 71:15>And he will live, and to him will be given from the gold of Arabia, and by him they will always adore. They will bless him all day long. 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 <V 71:16>And there will be a firmament on earth, at the summits of mountains: its fruits will be extolled above Lebanon, and those of the city will flourish like the grass of 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 <V 71:17>May his name be blessed forever; may his name remain before the sun. And all the tribes of the earth will be blessed in him. All nations will magnify him. 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 <V 71:18>Blessed is the Lord, God of Israel, who alone does wondrous things. 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 <V 71:19>And blessed is the name of his majesty in eternity. And all the earth will be filled with his majesty. 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.
