1 BY SOLOMON. O God, give Your judgments to the king, || And Your righteousness to the king’s Son. 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 He judges Your people with righteousness, || 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 The mountains bear peace to the people, || And the heights by righteousness. 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 judges the poor of the people, || Gives deliverance to the sons of the needy, || And bruises the oppressor. 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 fear You with the sun, and before the moon, || Generation—generations. 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 comes down as rain on mown grass, || As showers—sprinkling 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 The righteous flourish in His days, || And abundance of peace until the moon is not. 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 And He rules from sea to sea, || And from the river to the ends 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 Desert-dwellers bow before Him, || And His enemies lick 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 Kings of Tarshish and of the islands send back a present. Kings of Sheba and Seba bring a reward near. 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 And all kings bow themselves to Him, || All nations 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 For He delivers the needy who cries, || And the poor when he 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 He has pity on the poor and needy, || And He saves the souls of the needy, 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 redeems their soul from fraud and from violence, || And their blood is precious in His eyes. 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 And He lives, and the gold of Sheba [is] given to Him, || And prayer is continually made for Him, || All day He is continually blessed. 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 There is a handful of grain in the earth, || On the top of mountains, || Its fruit shakes like Lebanon, || And they flourish out of the city as the herb 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 His Name is for all time, || Before the sun is His Name continued, || And they bless themselves in Him, || All nations pronounce Him 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 is YHWH God, God of Israel, || He alone is doing wonders, 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 [is] the Name of His glory for all time, || And the whole earth is filled [with] His glory. Amen and 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.
