- [Of Solomon.]
- 1
- O God geue vnto the kyng thy iudgementes: and thy ryghteousnesse vnto the kynges sonne.
- 2
- [Then] he wyll iudge thy people accordyng vnto iustice: and thy afflicted accordyng to equitie.
- 3
- The mountaynes also and hylles: shall bryng peace to the people by the meanes of ryghteousnesse.
- 4
- He wyll iudge the afflicted amongst the people: he wyll saue the children of the poore, and subdue the oppressour.
- 5
- They wyll feare thee as long as the sunne and moone shyneth: from one generation to another.
- 6
- He wyll come downe lyke the rayne into a fleece of wooll: euen as the droppes that water the earth.
- 7
- In his dayes the ryghteous wyll florishe: and there shalbe aboundaunce of peace so long as the moone endureth.
- 8
- His dominion also shalbe from the one sea to the other: and from the fludde vnto the ende of the earth.
- 9
- They that dwell in the wildernesse shal kneele before him: his enemies shal licke the dust.
- 10
- The kyng of Tharsis and of the Iles shall offer presentes: the kynges of Sheba & Seba shall bring giftes.
- 11
- All kynges wyll worshyp hym: all nations wyll do hym seruice.
- 12
- For he wyll delyuer the poore when he cryeth: and the afflicted and hym that hath no helper.
- 13
- He wyll haue compassion vpon the poore and needy: and he wyll preserue the soules of the poore.
- 14
- He wyll delyuer their soules from deceipt and oppression: and their blood shalbe in his syght.
- 15
- He wyll lyue, and he wyll geue to the poore of the golde of Sheba: and he wyll pray alwayes for hym, and dayly he wyll blesse hym.
- 16
- A handfull of corne shall [be sowed] in the earth vpon the toppe of hylles: and the fruite therof shall make a noyse lyke Libanus, and shall florishe in the citie lyke grasse vpon the earth.
- 17
- His name shall endure for euer, his name shalbe spread abrode to the world so long as the sunne shall shyne: all nations shalbe blessed in hym, and shall call hym blessed.
- 18
- Blessed be God the Lorde: the Lorde of Israel which only doth wonderous thynges.
- 19
- And blessed be the name of his maiestie for euer: and all the earth shalbe fylled with his maiestie.
Amen, Amen.
- 20
- Here endeth the prayers of Dauid the sonne of Isai.
