¹ Give the king Your judgments, God, And Your righteousness to the king’s son.

² [651]May [652]he judge Your people with righteousness And [653]Your afflicted with justice.

³ [654]May the mountains bring [655]peace to the people, And the hills, in righteousness.

⁴ [656]May he vindicate the [657]afflicted of the people, Save the children of the needy, And crush the oppressor.

⁵ [658]May they fear You while the sun shines, And [659]as long as the moon shines, throughout all generations.

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

⁷ [661]May the righteous flourish in his days, As well as an abundance of peace, until the moon is no more.

⁸ May he also rule from sea to sea, And from the Euphrates River to the ends of the earth.

⁹ [662]May the nomads of the desert bow before him, And his enemies lick the dust.

¹⁰ [663]May the kings of Tarshish and of the [664]islands bring gifts; May the kings of Sheba and Seba offer tributes.

¹¹ [665]And may all kings bow down before him, All nations serve him.

¹² For he will save the needy when he cries for help, The [666]afflicted also, and him who has no helper.

¹³ He will have compassion on the poor and needy, And he will save the [667]lives of the needy.

¹⁴ He will [668]rescue their [669]life from oppression and violence, And their blood will be precious in his sight;

¹⁵ So may he live, and may the gold of Sheba be given to him; And [670]they are to pray for him continually; [671]They are to bless him all day long.

¹⁶ May there be abundance of grain on the earth on top of the mountains; Its fruit will wave like the cedars of Lebanon; And may those from the city flourish like the vegetation of the earth.

¹⁷ May his name endure forever; May his name produce descendants [672]as long as the sun shines; And may people wish blessings on themselves by him; May all nations call him blessed.

¹⁸ Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, Who alone works wonders.

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 ended.
