[1] GIVE the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness to the king's son,
[2] That he may judge thy people with righteousness and thy poor with justice.
[3] The mountains shall bring peace to thy people, and the hills thy righteousness.
[4] He shall judge the poor of the people; he shall save the children of the needy; and he shall crush the oppressor.
[5] They shall revere 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 endures.
[8] He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river to the ends of the earth.
[9] They that dwell on the islands shall bow before him; and his enemies shall lick the dust.
[10] The kings of Tarshish and of the islands shall bring presents; the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
[11] Yea, all kings shall worship him, all nations shall serve him;
[12] For he shall deliver the needy from the mighty, the poor also, who has no helper.
[13] He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy.
[14] He shall redeem their souls from deceit and violence; 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 to him continually, and daily shall he be praised.
[16] He shall multiply like wheat upon the earth; his seed shall spring up on the mountain tops, as on 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 alone does wondrous things.
[19] And blessed be his glorious name for ever; and let the whole earth be filled with his glory. Amen and Amen.
