Give the king your justice, O God, and your righteousness to the royal son.
May he judge your people with equity, and all of the poor with justice.
Let the mountains bring peace to the people, and the hills bear righteousness.
He'll defend the poor of the nation, help poor children, and crush oppressors.
May his honor endure like the sun, and as long as the moon for all ages.
May he come down like rain on the field, like showers that water the earth.
In his days may righteousness flourish, and great peace till the moon be no more.
May his rule be from sea to sea, from the river to the ends of the earth.
Desert dwellers shall bow down to him, and the hostile shall lick the dust.
May the kings of Tarshish bring tribute, and the kings of Sheba bring gifts.
O let all the kings fall prostrate, and may all the nations serve him.
Amen, and amen.
For he saves the needy who call, the afflicted and those with no helper.
For the weak and the poor his compassion will save.
The souls of the needy from oppression and violence.
He saves them, and their blood is dear in his sight.
Amen, and amen.
So long may he live, may the gold of Sheba be given.
Let there be perpetual prayers, and blessings for him all the day.
May the grain of the earth be abundant, may it wave on mountain peaks.
May its fruit be like unto Lebanon, if the towns let people blossom.
Amen, and amen.
May his name endure forever, and his fame live on like the sun.
May men bless themselves by him, and all nations call him blessed.
Bless the Lord, the God of Israel, who alone can work such wonders.
Bless his glorious name forever, may his glory fill the whole earth.
Amen, and amen.
Now the prayers of David, son of Jesse, are hereby made complete.
