- A Psalme of Salomon.
- 1
- Giue thy iudgements to the King, O God, and thy righteousnesse to the Kings sonne.
- 2
- Then shal he iudge thy people in righteousnesse, and thy poore with equitie.
- 3
- The mountaines & the hilles shall bring peace to the people by iustice.
- 4
- He shall iudge the poore of the people: he shall saue the children of the needie, and shal subdue the oppressor.
- 5
- They shall feare thee as long as the sunne and moone endureth, fro generatio to generation.
- 6
- He shall come downe like the rayne vpon the mowen grasse, and as the showres that water the earth.
- 7
- In his dayes shall the righteous florish, and abundance of peace shalbe so long as the moone endureth.
- 8
- His dominion shall be also from sea to sea, and from the Riuer vnto the endes of the land.
- 9
- They that dwell in ye wildernes, shall kneele before him, and his enemies shall licke the dust.
- 10
- The Kings of Tarshish & of the yles shall bring presents: the Kings of Sheba and Seba shall bring giftes.
- 11
- Yea, all Kings shal worship him: all nations shall serue him.
- 12
- For he shall deliuer the poore when he cryeth: the needie also, and him that hath no helper.
- 13
- He shalbe mercifull to the poore and needie, and shall preserue the soules of the poore.
- 14
- He shall redeeme their soules from deceite and violence, and deare shall their blood be in his sight.
- 15
- Yea, he shall liue, and vnto him shall they giue of the golde of Sheba: they shall also pray for him continually, and dayly blesse him.
- 16
- An handfull of corne shall be sowen in the earth, euen in the toppe of the mountaines, and the fruite thereof shall shake like the trees of Lebanon: and the children shall florish out of the citie like the grasse of the earth.
- 17
- His name shall be for euer: his name shall indure as long as the sunne: all nations shall blesse him, and be blessed in him.
- 18
- Blessed be the Lorde God, euen the God of Israel, which onely doeth wonderous things.
- 19
- And blessed be his glorious Name for euer: and let all the earth be filled with his glorie.
So be it, euen so be it.
- 20
- Here end the prayers of Dauid, the sonne of Ishai.
