A Psalm of Solomon. Give the king Thy judgments, O God, and Thy righteousness unto the king's son;
2 Ọ ga-eji ezi omume chịa ndị gị, jiri ikpe ziri ezi chịa ndị a na-emegbu.
That he may judge Thy people with righteousness, and Thy poor with justice.

Let the mountains bear peace to the people, and the hills, through righteousness.

May he judge the poor of the people, and save the children of the needy, and crush the oppressor.

May he come down like rain upon the mown grass, as showers that water the earth.

Yea, all kings shall prostrate themselves before him; all nations shall serve him.
12 Nʼihi na ọ ga-azọpụta ndị nọ na mkpa mgbe ha kpọkuru ya. Ọ ga-azọpụtakwa ndị ogbenye na-enweghị onye ga-enyere ha aka.
For he will deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper.

May he be as a rich cornfield in the land upon the top of the mountains; may his fruit rustle like Lebanon; and may they blossom out of the city like grass of the earth.
