1 (71-1) <A psalm on Solomon.> (71-2) Give to the king thy judgment, O God, and to the king’s son thy justice:

2 (71-2) To judge thy people with justice, and thy poor with judgment.

3 (71-3) Let the mountains receive peace for the people: and the hills justice.

4 (71-4) He shall judge the poor of the people, and he shall save the children of the poor: and he shall humble the oppressor.

5 (71-5) And he shall continue with the sun and before the moon, throughout all generations.

6 (71-6) He shall come down like rain upon the fleece; and as showers falling gently upon the earth.

7 (71-7) In his days shall justice spring up, and abundance of peace, till the moon be taken away.

8 (71-8) And he shall rule from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.

9 (71-9) Before him the Ethiopians shall fall down: and his enemies shall lick the ground.

10 (71-10) The kings of Tharsis and the islands shall offer presents: the kings of the Arabians and of Saba shall bring gifts:

11 (71-11) And all kings of the earth shall adore him: all nations shall serve him.

12 (71-12) For he shall deliver the poor from the mighty: and the needy that had no helper.

13 (71-13) He shall spare the poor and needy: and he shall save the souls of the poor.

14 (71-14) He shall redeem their souls from usuries and iniquity: and their names shall be honourable in his sight.

15 (71-15) And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Arabia, for him they shall always adore: they shall bless him all the day.

16 (71-16) And there shall be a firmament on the earth on the tops of mountains, above Libanus shall the fruit thereof be exalted: and they of the city shall flourish like the grass of the earth.

17 (71-17) Let his name be blessed for evermore: his name continueth before the sun. And in him shall all the tribes of the earth be blessed: all nations shall magnify him.

18 (71-18) Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, who alone doth wonderful things.

19 (71-19) And blessed be the name of his majesty for ever: and the whole earth shall be filled with his majesty. So be it. So be it.

20 (71-20) The praises of David, the son of Jesse, are ended.

1 Endow the king with your justice, O God, the royal son with your righteousness.

2 May he judge your people in righteousness, your afflicted ones with justice.

3 May the mountains bring prosperity to the people, the hills the fruit of righteousness.

4 May he defend the afflicted among the people and save the children of the needy; may he crush the oppressor.

5 May he endure as long as the sun, as long as the moon, through all generations.

6 May he be like rain falling on a mown field, like showers watering the earth.

7 In his days may the righteous flourish and prosperity abound till the moon is no more.

8 May he rule from sea to sea and from the River to the ends of the earth.

9 May the desert tribes bow before him and his enemies lick the dust.

10 May the kings of Tarshish and of distant shores bring tribute to him. May the kings of Sheba and Seba present him gifts.

11 May all kings bow down to him and all nations serve him.

12 For he will deliver the needy who cry out, the afflicted who have no one to help.

13 He will take pity on the weak and the needy and save the needy from death.

14 He will rescue them from oppression and violence, for precious is their blood in his sight.

15 Long may he live! May gold from Sheba be given him. May people ever pray for him and bless him all day long.

16 May grain abound throughout the land; on the tops of the hills may it sway. May the crops flourish like Lebanon and thrive like the grass of the field.

17 May his name endure forever; may it continue as long as the sun. Then all nations will be blessed through him,and they will call him blessed.

18 Praise be to the LORD God, the God of Israel, who alone does marvelous deeds.

19 Praise be to his glorious name forever; may the whole earth be filled with his glory. Amen and Amen.

20 This concludes the prayers of David son of Jesse.
