1 | Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto
the king's son. |
|
2 | He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor
with judgment. |
|
3 | The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little
hills, by righteousness. |
|
4 | He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the
children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the
oppressor. |
|
5 | They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure,
throughout all generations. |
|
6 | He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers
that water the earth. |
|
7 | In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of
peace so long as the moon endureth. |
|
8 | He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the
river unto the ends of the earth. |
|
9 | They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; and
his enemies shall lick the dust. |
|
10 | The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents:
the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts. |
|
11 | Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall
serve him. |
|
12 | For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also,
and him that hath no helper. |
|
13 | He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of
the needy. |
|
14 | He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and
precious shall their blood be in his sight. |
|
15 | And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of
Sheba: prayer also shall be made for him continually; and
daily shall he be praised. |
|
16 | There shall be an handful of corn in the earth upon the top of
the mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon: and
they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth. |
|
17 | His name shall endure for ever: his name shall be continued as
long as the sun: and men shall be blessed in him: all nations
shall call him blessed. |
|
18 | Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only doeth
wondrous things. |
|
19 | And blessed be his glorious name for ever: and let the whole
earth be filled with his glory; Amen, and Amen. |
|
20 | The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended. |
