For Solomon. O God, give the king thy judgments, and thy righteousness unto the king's son.

2 יָדִ֣ין עַמְּךָ֣ בְצֶ֑דֶק וַעֲנִיֶּ֥יךָ בְמִשְׁפָּֽט׃

He will judge thy people with righteousness, and thine afflicted with judgment.

The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the hills, by righteousness.

4 יִשְׁפֹּ֤ט ׀ עֲ‍ֽנִיֵּי־עָ֗ם יֹ֭ושִׁיעַ לִבְנֵ֣י אֶבְיֹ֑ון וִֽידַכֵּ֣א עֹושֵֽׁק׃

He will do justice to the afflicted of the people; he will save the children of the needy, and will break in pieces the oppressor.

5 יִֽירָא֥וּךָ עִם־שָׁ֑מֶשׁ וְלִפְנֵ֥י יָ֝רֵ֗חַ דֹּ֣ור דֹּורִֽים׃

They shall fear thee as long as sun and moon endure, from generation to generation.

He shall come down like rain on the mown grass, as showers that water the earth.

7 יִֽפְרַח־בְּיָמָ֥יו צַדִּ֑יק וְרֹ֥ב שָׁ֝לֹ֗ום עַד־בְּלִ֥י יָרֵֽחַ׃

In his days shall the righteous flourish, and abundance of peace till the moon be no more.

8 וְ֭יֵרְדְּ מִיָּ֣ם עַד־יָ֑ם וּ֝מִנָּהָ֗ר עַד־אַפְסֵי־אָֽרֶץ׃

And he shall have dominion from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.

9 לְ֭פָנָיו יִכְרְע֣וּ צִיִּ֑ים וְ֝אֹיְבָ֗יו עָפָ֥ר יְלַחֵֽכוּ׃

The dwellers in the desert shall bow before him, and his enemies shall lick the dust.

10 מַלְכֵ֬י תַרְשִׁ֣ישׁ וְ֭אִיִּים מִנְחָ֣ה יָשִׁ֑יבוּ מַלְכֵ֥י שְׁבָ֥א וּ֝סְבָ֗א אֶשְׁכָּ֥ר יַקְרִֽיבוּ׃

The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall render presents; the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer tribute:

11 וְיִשְׁתַּחֲווּ־לֹ֥ו כָל־מְלָכִ֑ים כָּל־גֹּויִ֥ם יַֽעַבְדֽוּהוּ׃

Yea, all kings shall bow down before him; all nations shall serve him.

12 כִּֽי־יַ֭צִּיל אֶבְיֹ֣ון מְשַׁוֵּ֑עַ וְ֝עָנִ֗י וְֽאֵין־עֹזֵ֥ר לֹֽו׃

For he will deliver the needy who crieth, and the afflicted, who hath no helper;

13 יָ֭חֹס עַל־דַּ֣ל וְאֶבְיֹ֑ון וְנַפְשֹׁ֖ות אֶבְיֹונִ֣ים יֹושִֽׁיעַ׃

He will have compassion on the poor and needy, and will save the souls of the needy:

14 מִתֹּ֣וךְ וּ֭מֵחָמָס יִגְאַ֣ל נַפְשָׁ֑ם וְיֵיקַ֖ר דָּמָ֣ם בְּעֵינָֽיו׃

He will redeem their souls from oppression and violence, and precious shall their blood be in his sight.

15 וִיחִ֗י וְיִתֶּן־לֹו֮ מִזְּהַ֪ב שְׁ֫בָ֥א וְיִתְפַּלֵּ֣ל בַּעֲדֹ֣ו תָמִ֑יד כָּל־הַ֝יֹּ֗ום יְבָרֲכֶֽנְהֽוּ׃

And he shall live; and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba; and prayer shall be made for him continually: all the day shall he be blessed.

16 יְהִ֤י פִסַּת־בַּ֨ר ׀ בָּאָרֶץ֮ בְּרֹ֪אשׁ הָ֫רִ֥ים יִרְעַ֣שׁ כַּלְּבָנֹ֣ון פִּרְיֹ֑ו וְיָצִ֥יצוּ מֵ֝עִ֗יר כְּעֵ֣שֶׂב הָאָֽרֶץ׃

There shall be abundance of corn in the earth, upon the top of the mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon; and they of the city shall bloom like the herb of the earth.

17 יְהִ֤י שְׁמֹ֨ו לְֽעֹולָ֗ם לִפְנֵי־שֶׁמֶשׁ֮ יָנִין (יִנֹּ֪ון) שְׁ֫מֹ֥ו וְיִתְבָּ֥רְכוּ בֹ֑ו כָּל־גֹּויִ֥ם יְאַשְּׁרֽוּהוּ׃

His name shall endure for ever; his name shall be continued as long as the sun: and [men] shall bless themselves in him; all nations shall call him blessed.

18 בָּר֤וּךְ ׀ יְהוָ֣ה אֱ֭לֹהִים אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל עֹשֵׂ֖ה נִפְלָאֹ֣ות לְבַדֹּֽו׃

Blessed be Jehovah Elohim, the God of Israel, who alone doeth wondrous things!

19 וּבָר֤וּךְ ׀ שֵׁ֥ם כְּבֹודֹ֗ו לְעֹ֫ולָ֥ם וְיִמָּלֵ֣א כְ֭בֹודֹו אֶת־כֹּ֥ל הָאָ֗רֶץ אָ֘מֵ֥ן ׀ וְאָמֵֽן׃

And blessed be his glorious name for ever! and let the whole earth be filled with his glory! Amen, and Amen.

The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
