## 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.
