| 1 | Of Solomon. Endow the king with your justice, O God, the royal son with your righteousness. | |
| 2 | He will judge your people in righteousness, your afflicted ones with justice. | |
| 3 | The mountains will bring prosperity to the people, the hills the fruit of righteousness. | |
| 4 | He will defend the afflicted among the people and save the children of the needy; he will crush the oppressor. | |
| 5 | He will endure as long as the sun, as long as the moon, through all generations. | |
| 6 | He will be like rain falling on a mown field, like showers watering the earth. | |
| 7 | In his days the righteous will flourish; prosperity will abound till the moon is no more. | |
| 8 | He will rule from sea to sea and from the River to the ends of the earth. | |
| 9 | The desert tribes will bow before him and his enemies will lick the dust. | |
| 10 | The kings of Tarshish and of distant shores will bring tribute to him; the kings of Sheba and Seba will present him gifts. | |
| 11 | All kings will bow down to him and all nations will serve him. | |
| 12 | For he will deliver the needy who cry out, the afflicted who have no one to help. | |
| 13 | He will take pity on the weak and the needy and save the needy from death. | |
| 14 | He will rescue them from oppression and violence, for precious is their blood in his sight. | |
| 15 | Long may he live! May gold from Sheba be given him. May people ever pray for him and bless him all day long. | |
| 16 | Let grain abound throughout the land; on the tops of the hills may it sway. Let its fruit flourish like Lebanon; let it thrive like the grass of the field. | |
| 17 | May his name endure forever; may it continue as long as the sun. All nations will be blessed through him, and they will call him blessed. | |
| 18 | Praise be to the LORD God, the God of Israel, who alone does marvelous deeds. | |
| 19 | Praise be to his glorious name forever; may the whole earth be filled with his glory. Amen and Amen. | |
| 20 | This concludes the prayers of David son of Jesse. | |
