Give
the king your justice, O God, and your righteousness to the royal son!
May he judge your people with righteousness, and your poor with justice! Let
the mountains bear prosperity for the people, and the hills, in righteousness! May
he defend the cause of the poor of the people, give deliverance to the children
of the needy, and crush the oppressor!
May
they fear you while the sun endures, and as long as the moon, throughout all
generations! May he be like rain that falls on the mown grass, like showers
that water the earth! In his days may the righteous flourish, and peace abound,
till the moon be no more! May he have dominion from sea to sea, and from the
River to the ends of the earth! May desert tribes bow down before him, and his
enemies lick the dust!
May the kings of Tarshish and of the coastlands render him tribute; may the
kings of Sheba and Seba bring gifts! May all kings fall down before him, all
nations serve him! For he delivers the needy when he calls, the poor and him
who has no helper. He has pity on the weak and the needy, and saves the lives
of the needy.
From
oppression and violence he redeems their life, and precious is their blood in
his sight. Long may he live; may gold of Sheba be given to him! May prayer be
made for him continually, and blessings invoked for him all the day! May there
be abundance of grain in the land; on the tops of the mountains may it wave; may
its fruit be like Lebanon; and may people blossom in the cities like the grass
of the field! May his name endure forever, his fame continue as long as the
sun! May people be blessed in him, all nations call him blessed! Blessed be the
Lord, the God of Israel, who alone does wondrous things. Blessed be his
glorious name forever; may the whole earth be filled with his glory!
Amen and Amen!
