VIN(i)
1 By Solomon. God, give the king your justice; your righteousness to the royal son.
2 He will judge your people with righteousness, and your poor with justice.
3 The mountains shall bring prosperity to the people. The hills bring the fruit of righteousness.
4 May he defend the afflicted of the people and deliver the children of the poor, but crush the oppressor.
5 and continue, as long as the sun and moon, through all generations.
6 May he descend like rain on mown grass, like showers watering the earth.
7 In His days the righteous shall flourish, and plenty of peace, till the moon is not.
8 He shall also rule from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth.
9 The dwellers in the desert shall bow before him, and his enemies shall lick the dust.
10 The kings of Tarshish and of the isles will bring tribute (presents). The kings of Sheba and Seba will offer gifts.
11 Yes, all kings will bow down before him. All nations will serve him.
12 For he will deliver the needy who crieth, and the afflicted, who hath no helper;
13 He will have pity on the poor and needy, he will save the needy persons.
14 He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence; And precious will their blood be in his sight:
15 And he shall live, and the gold of Sheba shall be given to him. Men shall pray for him continually. He shall bless him all day long.
16 Abundance of grain shall be throughout the land. Its fruit sways like Lebanon. Let it flourish, thriving like the grass of the field.
17 His name endures forever, his name continues as long as the sun. Men shall be blessed in him, all nations will call him blessed.
18 Praise be to the LORD God, the God of Israel, who alone does marvelous deeds.
19 Blessed be to his glorious name forever. May the whole earth be filled with his glory. Amen and amen!
20 This ends the prayers by David, the son of Jesse.
