1To Solomon, God, give your justice to the king and your righteousness to the son of the king.2May he judge your people with righteousness and your afflicted ones with justice.3May the mountains bear peace to the people, and the hills bear righteousness.4May he judge the afflicted of the people; may he save the children of the needy and crush the oppressor.5May they fear you with the sun and before the moon, generation after generation.6May he descend like rain upon the fleece, like showers that drip upon the land.7In his days may the righteous flourish, and an abundance of peace until the moon is no more.8May he rule from sea to sea and from the River to the ends of the earth.9Before him may the wild beasts bow down, and his enemies may lick the dust.10May the kings of Tarshish and the coastlands return an offering; may the kings of Sheba and Seba present a gift.11May all kings bow down to him; may all nations serve him.12For he will rescue the needy who cries out, and the afflicted who has no helper.13He will have pity on the poor and needy and will save the souls of the needy.14From oppression and violence he will redeem their soul, and their blood will be precious in his eyes.15May he live, and may gold of Sheba be given to him; may prayer be made for him continually all the day; may they bless him.16May there be an abundance of grain in the land; on the tops of the mountains may it shake like Lebanon; may its fruit blossom, and may they blossom from the city like the vegetation of the land.17May his name be forever; before the sun may his name propagate; may all nations be blessed in him and call him blessed.18Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who alone does wondrous things.19And blessed be the name of his glory forever; may his glory fill all the earth. Amen and Amen.20The prayers of David son of Jesse are ended.
