*Of Solomon.*

## Text

[1] Endow the king with Your justice, O God,
and the son of the king with Your righteousness. [2] May he judge Your people with righteousness
and Your afflicted with justice. [3] May the mountains bring peace to the people,
and the hills bring righteousness. [4] May he vindicate the afflicted among the people;
may he save the children of the needy
and crush the oppressor. [5] May they fear him as long as the sun shines,
as long as the moon remains,
through all generations. [6] May he be like rain that falls on freshly cut grass,
like spring showers that water the earth. [7] May the righteous flourish in his days
and prosperity abound,
until the moon is no more. [8] May he rule from sea to sea,
and from the Euphrates to the ends of the earth. [9] May the nomads bow before him,
and his enemies lick the dust. [10] May the kings of Tarshish and distant shores bring tribute;
may the kings of Sheba and Seba offer gifts. [11] May all kings bow down to him
and all nations serve him. [12] For he will deliver the needy who cry out
and the afflicted who have no helper. [13] He will take pity on the poor and needy
and save the lives of the oppressed. [14] He will redeem them from oppression and violence,
for their blood is precious in his sight. [15] Long may he live!
May gold from Sheba be given him.
May people ever pray for him;
may they bless him all day long. [16] May there be an abundance of grain in the land;
may it sway atop the hills.
May its fruit trees flourish like the forests of Lebanon,
and its people like the grass of the field. [17] May his name endure forever;
may his name continue as long as the sun shines.
In him may all nations be blessed;
may they call him blessed. [18] Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel,
who alone does marvelous deeds. [19] And blessed be His glorious name forever;
may all the earth be filled with His glory.
Amen and amen. [20] Thus conclude the prayers of David son of Jesse.
