## Give the King Your Judgments 

###### 1
O God, give the king Your judgments, And Your righteousness to the king's son. 

###### 2
May he render judgment to Your people with righteousness And Your afflicted with justice. 

###### 3
Let the mountains lift up peace to the people, And the hills, in righteousness. 

###### 4
May he give justice to the afflicted of the people, Save the children of the needy, And crush the oppressor. 

###### 5
Let them fear You while the sun _endures_, And as long as the moon, _from_ generation to _all_ generations. 

###### 6
May he come down like rain upon the mown grass, Like showers that water the earth. 

###### 7
May the righteous flourish in his days, And abundance of peace until the moon is no more. 

###### 8
May he also have dominion from sea to sea And from the River to the ends of the earth. 

###### 9
Let the desert creatures kneel before him, And his enemies lick the dust. 

###### 10
Let the kings of Tarshish and of the coastlands bring a present; The kings of Sheba and Seba offer tribute. 

###### 11
And let all kings bow down to him, All nations serve him. 

###### 12
For he will deliver the needy when he cries for help, The afflicted also, and him who has no helper. 

###### 13
He will have compassion on the poor and needy, And the lives of the needy he will save. 

###### 14
He will redeem their life from oppression and violence, And their blood will be precious in his sight; 

###### 15
So may he live! And may they give to him the gold of Sheba; And let each pray for him continually; Let each bless him all day long. 

###### 16
May there be abundance of grain in the earth on top of the mountains; May its fruit wave like _the cedars of_ Lebanon; And may those from the city blossom like vegetation of the earth. 

###### 17
May his name endure forever; May his name increase as long as the sun _shines_; Let _all nations_ be blessed in him; Let all nations call him blessed. 

###### 18
Blessed be Yahweh God, the God of Israel, Who alone works wondrous deeds. 

###### 19
And blessed be His glorious name forever; And may the whole earth be filled with His glory. Amen, and Amen. 

###### 20
The prayers of David, the son of Jesse, are completed.
