Vers 1
O Lord, thy judgments give the king,
his son thy righteousness.
With right he shall thy people judge,
thy poor with uprightness.Vers 2
The lofty mountains shall bring forth
unto the people peace;
Likewise the little hills the same
shall do by righteousness.Vers 3
The people’s poor ones he shall judge,
the needy’s children save;
And those shall he in pieces break
who them oppressed have.Vers 4
They shall thee fear, while sun and moon
do last, through ages all.
Like rain on mown grass he shall drop,
or show’rs on earth that fall.Vers 5
The just shall flourish in his days,
and prosper in his reign:
He shall, while doth the moon endure,
abundant peace maintain.Vers 6
His large and great dominion shall
from sea to sea extend:
It from the river shall reach forth
unto earth’s utmost end.Vers 7
They in the wilderness that dwell
bow down before him must;
And they that are his enemies
shall lick the very dust.Vers 8
The kings of Tarshish, and the isles,
to him shall presents bring;
And unto him shall offer gifts
Sheba’s and Seba’s king.Vers 9
Yea, all the mighty kings on earth
before him down shall fall;
And all the nations of the world
do service to him shall.Vers 10
For he the needy shall preserve,
when he to him doth call;
The poor also, and him that hath
no help of man at all.Vers 11
The poor man and the indigent
in mercy he shall spare;
He shall preserve alive the souls
of those that needy are.Vers 12
Both from deceit and violence
their soul he shall set free;
And in his sight right precious
and dear their blood shall be.Vers 13
Yea, he shall live, and giv’n to him
shall be of Sheba’s gold:
For him still shall they pray, and he
shall daily be extoll’d.Vers 14
Of corn an handful in the earth
on tops of mountains high,
With prosp’rous fruit shall shake, like trees
on Lebanon that be.Vers 15
The city shall be flourishing,
her citizens abound
In number shall, like to the grass
that grows upon the ground.Vers 16
His name for ever shall endure;
last like the sun it shall:
Men shall be bless’d in him,
and bless’d all nations shall him call.Vers 17
Now blessed be the Lord our God,
the God of Israel,
For he alone doth wondrous works,
in glory that excel.Vers 18
And blessed be his glorious name
to all eternity:
The whole earth let his glory fill.
Amen, so let it be.
