A psalm of Solomon. God, please give the king fairness, and give the king's son the ability to do what's right.

The kings of Tarshish and the islands will bring him tribute; the kings of Sheba and Seba will present him with gifts.

Every king will bow down to him; every nation will serve him.

May there be plenty of grain in the land, even growing on mountain-tops. May the fruit on the trees sway like the trees of Lebanon. May the people in the city flourish like grass in a field.
