1 (71:1) For Solomon. O God, give thy judgment to the king, and thy righteousness to the king's son;
2 (71:2) that he may judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment.
3 (71:3) Let the mountains and the hills raise peace to thy people:
4 (71:4) he shall judge the poor of the people in righteousness, and save the children of the needy; and shall bring low the false accuser.
5 (71:5) And he shall continue as long as the sun, and before the moon for ever.
6 (71:6) He shall come down as rain upon a fleece; and as drops falling upon the earth.
7 (71:7) In his days shall righteousness spring up; and abundance of peace till the moon be removed.
8 (71:8) And he shall have dominion from sea to sea, and from the river to the ends of the earth.
9 (71:9) The Ethiopians shall fall down before him; and his enemies shall lick the dust.
10 (71:10) The kings of Tharsis, and the isles, shall bring presents: the kings of the Arabians and Saba shall offer gifts.
11 (71:11) And all kings shall worship him; all the Gentiles shall serve him.
12 (71:12) For he has delivered the poor from the oppressor; and the needy who had no helper.
13 (71:13) He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall deliver the souls of the needy.
14 (71:14) He shall redeem their souls from usury and injustice: and their name shall be precious before him.
15 (71:15) And he shall live, and there shall be given him of the gold of Arabia: and men shall pray for him continually; and all the day shall they praise him.
16 (71:16) There shall be an establishment on the earth on the tops of the mountains: the fruit thereof shall be exalted above Libanus, and they of the city shall flourish as grass of the earth.
17 (71:17) Let his name be blessed for ever: his name shall endure longer than the sun: and all the tribes of the earth shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him blessed.
18 (71:18) Blessed is the Lord God of Israel, who alone does wonders.
19 (71:19) And blessed is his glorious name for ever, even for ever and ever: and all the earth shall be filled with his glory. So be it, so be it.
20 (71:20) The hymns of David the son of Jessae are ended.
