1Of Solomon. Endow the king with Your justice, O God, and the son of the king with Your righteousness. 1לִשְׁלֹמֹ֨ה ׀ אֱ‍ֽלֹהִ֗ים מִ֭שְׁפָּטֶיךָ לְמֶ֣לֶךְ תֵּ֑ן וְצִדְקָתְךָ֥ לְבֶן־ מֶֽלֶךְ׃
2He will judge Your people with righteousness and Your afflicted with justice. 2יָדִ֣ין עַמְּךָ֣ בְצֶ֑דֶק וַעֲנִיֶּ֥יךָ בְמִשְׁפָּֽט׃
3May the mountains bring peace to the people and the hills [bring] righteousness. 3יִשְׂא֤וּ הָרִ֓ים שָׁ֘ל֥וֹם לָעָ֑ם וּ֝גְבָע֗וֹת בִּצְדָקָֽה׃
4May he vindicate the afflicted among the people; may he save the children of the needy, and crush the oppressor. 4יִשְׁפֹּ֤ט ׀ עֲ‍ֽנִיֵּי־ עָ֗ם י֭וֹשִׁיעַ לִבְנֵ֣י אֶבְי֑וֹן וִֽידַכֵּ֣א עוֹשֵֽׁק׃
5May they fear him as long as the sun [shines], as long as the moon [remains], through all generations. 5יִֽירָא֥וּךָ עִם־ שָׁ֑מֶשׁ וְלִפְנֵ֥י יָ֝רֵ֗חַ דּ֣וֹר דּוֹרִֽים׃
6May he be like rain that falls on freshly cut grass, like spring showers that water the earth. 6יֵ֭רֵד כְּמָטָ֣ר עַל־ גֵּ֑ז כִּ֝רְבִיבִ֗ים זַרְזִ֥יף אָֽרֶץ׃
7May the righteous flourish in his days and prosperity abound, until the moon is no more. 7יִֽפְרַח־ בְּיָמָ֥יו צַדִּ֑יק וְרֹ֥ב שָׁ֝ל֗וֹם עַד־ בְּלִ֥י יָרֵֽחַ׃
8May he rule from sea to sea, and from the [Euphrates] to the ends of the earth. 8וְ֭יֵרְדְּ מִיָּ֣ם עַד־ יָ֑ם וּ֝מִנָּהָ֗ר עַד־ אַפְסֵי־ אָֽרֶץ׃
9May the nomads bow before him, and his enemies lick the dust. 9לְ֭פָנָיו יִכְרְע֣וּ צִיִּ֑ים וְ֝אֹיְבָ֗יו עָפָ֥ר יְלַחֵֽכוּ׃
10May the kings of Tarshish and distant shores bring tribute; may the kings of Sheba and Seba offer gifts. 10מַלְכֵ֬י תַרְשִׁ֣ישׁ וְ֭אִיִּים מִנְחָ֣ה יָשִׁ֑יבוּ מַלְכֵ֥י שְׁבָ֥א וּ֝סְבָ֗א אֶשְׁכָּ֥ר יַקְרִֽיבוּ׃
11May all kings bow down to him [and] all nations serve him. 11וְיִשְׁתַּחֲווּ־ ל֥וֹ כָל־ מְלָכִ֑ים כָּל־ גּוֹיִ֥ם יַֽעַבְדֽוּהוּ׃
12For he shall deliver the needy who cry out and the afflicted who have no helper. 12כִּֽי־ יַ֭צִּיל אֶבְי֣וֹן מְשַׁוֵּ֑עַ וְ֝עָנִ֗י וְֽאֵין־ עֹזֵ֥ר לֽוֹ׃
13He will have compassion on the poor and needy and save the lives of the oppressed. 13יָ֭חֹס עַל־ דַּ֣ל וְאֶבְי֑וֹן וְנַפְשׁ֖וֹת אֶבְיוֹנִ֣ים יוֹשִֽׁיעַ׃
14He will rescue them from oppression and violence, for their blood is precious in his sight. 14מִתּ֣וֹךְ וּ֭מֵחָמָס יִגְאַ֣ל נַפְשָׁ֑ם וְיֵיקַ֖ר דָּמָ֣ם בְּעֵינָֽיו׃
15Long may he live! May gold from Sheba be given him. May people ever pray for him; may they bless him all day long. 15וִיחִ֗י וְיִתֶּן־ לוֹ֮ מִזְּהַ֪ב שְׁ֫בָ֥א וְיִתְפַּלֵּ֣ל בַּעֲד֣וֹ תָמִ֑יד כָּל־ הַ֝יּ֗וֹם יְבָרֲכֶֽנְהֽוּ׃
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. 16יְהִ֤י פִסַּת־ בַּ֨ר ׀ בָּאָרֶץ֮ בְּרֹ֪אשׁ הָ֫רִ֥ים יִרְעַ֣שׁ כַּלְּבָנ֣וֹן פִּרְי֑וֹ וְיָצִ֥יצוּ מֵ֝עִ֗יר כְּעֵ֣שֶׂב הָאָֽרֶץ׃
17May his name endure forever; may his name increase as long as the sun shines. In him may all nations be blessed; may they call him blessed. 17יְהִ֤י שְׁמ֨וֹ לְֽעוֹלָ֗ם לִפְנֵי־ שֶׁמֶשׁ֮ ינין [יִנּ֪וֹן] (שְׁ֫מ֥וֹ) וְיִתְבָּ֥רְכוּ ב֑וֹ כָּל־ גּוֹיִ֥ם יְאַשְּׁרֽוּהוּ׃
18Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who alone does marvelous deeds. 18בָּר֤וּךְ ׀ יְהוָ֣ה אֱ֭לֹהִים אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל עֹשֵׂ֖ה נִפְלָא֣וֹת לְבַדּֽוֹ׃
19And blessed [be] His glorious name forever; may all the earth be filled with His glory. Amen and amen. 19וּבָר֤וּךְ ׀ שֵׁ֥ם כְּבוֹד֗וֹ לְע֫וֹלָ֥ם וְיִמָּלֵ֣א כְ֭בוֹדוֹ אֶת־ כֹּ֥ל הָאָ֗רֶץ אָ֘מֵ֥ן ׀ וְאָמֵֽן׃
20This concludes the prayers of David son of Jesse. 20כָּלּ֥וּ תְפִלּ֑וֹת דָּ֝וִ֗ד בֶּן־ יִשָֽׁי׃
