A Psalm for Solomon .
1 Give the king thy judgments , O God, and thy righteousness unto the king’s son.
2 He shall judge thy people with righteousness , and thy poor with judgment .
3 The mountains shall bring peace to the people , and the little hills , by righteousness .
4 He shall judge the poor of the people , he shall save the children of the needy , and shall break in pieces the oppressor .
5 They shall fear 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 endureth .
8 He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth .
9 They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; and his enemies shall lick the dust .
10 The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents : the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts .
11 Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve him.
12 For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth ; the poor also , and him that hath no helper .
13 He shall spare the poor and needy , and shall save the souls of the needy .
14 He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence : and 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 for him continually ; and daily shall he be praised .
16 There shall be an handful of corn in the earth upon the top of the mountains ; the fruit thereof shall shake like 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 only doeth wondrous things .
19 And blessed be his glorious name for ever : and let the whole earth be filled with his glory ; Amen , and Amen .
20 The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended .
