1
Of◦ Solomon.
O God, give Thy judgments to the king,
and Thy justice to the king’s son.
2
He will make··judgment··for Thy people with justice,
and Thine afflicted with judgment.
3
The mountains shall bear peace to the people,
and the hills in justice.
4
He will judge the afflicted of the people;
He will save the sons of the needy, and will crush the oppressor.
5
They will fear Thee with the sun, and before the moon,
a generation of generations.
6
He will come··down as rain upon the mowings of the meadow*,
as raindrops on the rills of the earth.
7
In His days shall the just flourish,
and much peace, until the moon be no more.
8
And he shall have··dominion from sea to◦ sea,
and from the river to◦ the ends◦ of the earth.
9
Tsiim* shall stoop··down before him,
and his enemies shall lick the dust.
10
The kings of Tarshish and of the islands shall return a gift··offering;
The kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer a gift*.
11
And all kings shall bow··down to Him;
all nations shall serve Him.
12
for He will rescue the needy one crying··out,
and the afflicted, and him who has◦ no helper.
13
He will spare the poor and needy,
and the souls of the needy He will save.
14
He will redeem their soul from fraud and from violence,
and their blood will be··precious in His eyes.
15
And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba;
and He shall pray for▫ him continually, He shall bless him all the day.
16
There shall be a handful of grain◦ in the land on◦ the head of the mountains.
The fruit of it shall quake as Lebanon; and those of the city shall flower as the herb of the earth.
17
His name shall be to eternity;
before the sun He shall have* the name of Son▵.
And all nations shall be blessed in Him;
they shall call· Him ·happy.
18
Blessed be Jehovah God, the God of Israel,
who alone does wonders.
19
And blessed be the name of His glory to eternity;
and let all the earth be··filled with His glory.
Amen and amen.
