1Of Solomon. Endow the king with Your justice, O God, and the son of the king with Your righteousness.1Give the king your justice, O God, and your righteousness to the royal son!
2May he judge Your people with righteousness and Your afflicted with justice.2May he judge your people with righteousness, and your poor with justice!
3May the mountains bring peace to the people, and the hills bring righteousness.3Let the mountains bear prosperity for the people, and the hills, in righteousness!
4May he vindicate the afflicted among the people; may he save the children of the needy and crush the oppressor.4May he defend the cause of the poor of the people, give deliverance to the children of the needy, and crush the oppressor!
5May they fear him as long as the sun shines, as long as the moon remains, through all generations.5May they fear you while the sun endures, and as long as the moon, throughout all generations!
6May he be like rain that falls on freshly cut grass, like spring showers that water the earth.6May he be like rain that falls on the mown grass, like showers that water the earth!
7May the righteous flourish in his days and prosperity abound, until the moon is no more.7In his days may the righteous flourish, and peace abound, till the moon be no more!
8May he rule from sea to sea, and from the Euphrates to the ends of the earth.8May he have dominion from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth!
9May the nomads bow before him, and his enemies lick the dust.9May desert tribes bow down before him, and his enemies lick the dust!
10May the kings of Tarshish and distant shores bring tribute; may the kings of Sheba and Seba offer gifts.10May the kings of Tarshish and of the coastlands render him tribute; may the kings of Sheba and Seba bring gifts!
11May all kings bow down to him and all nations serve him.11May all kings fall down before him, all nations serve him!
12For he will deliver the needy who cry out and the afflicted who have no helper.12For he delivers the needy when he calls, the poor and him who has no helper.
13He will take pity on the poor and needy and save the lives of the oppressed.13He has pity on the weak and the needy, and saves the lives of the needy.
14He will redeem them from oppression and violence, for their blood is precious in his sight.14From oppression and violence he redeems their life, and precious is their blood in his sight.
15Long may he live! May gold from Sheba be given him. May people ever pray for him; may they bless him all day long.15Long 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!
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.16May 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!
17May his name endure forever; may his name continue as long as the sun shines. In him may all nations be blessed; may they call him blessed.17May his name endure forever, his fame continue as long as the sun! May people be blessed in him, all nations call him blessed!
18Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who alone does marvelous deeds.18Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who alone does wondrous things.
19And blessed be His glorious name forever; may all the earth be filled with His glory. Amen and amen.19Blessed be his glorious name forever; may the whole earth be filled with his glory! Amen and Amen!
20Thus conclude the prayers of David son of Jesse.20The prayers of David, the son of Jesse, are ended.
