- [A Psalme for Solomon.]
- 1
- Giue the King thy Iudgements, O God, and thy Righteousnesse vnto the Kings sonne.
- 2
- Hee shall iudge thy people with righteousnesse, and thy poore with iudgement.
- 3
- The mountaines shal bring peace to the people, and the litle hils, by righteousnesse.
- 4
- Hee shall iudge the poore of the people, he shall saue the children of the needie, and shall breake in pieces the oppressour.
- 5
- They shall feare thee as long as the Sunne & Moone indure, throughout all generations.
- 6
- Hee shall come downe like raine vpon the mowen grasse: as showres that water the earth.
- 7
- In his dayes shall the righteous flourish: and abundance of peace so long as the Moone endureth.
- 8
- He shall haue dominion also from sea to sea, and from the riuer, vnto the ends of the earth.
- 9
- They that dwell in the wildernesse shall bowe before him: and his enemies shall licke the dust.
- 10
- The kings of Tarshish and of the Isles shall bring presents: the Kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
- 11
- Yea, all Kings shall fall downe before him: all nations shall serue him.
- 12
- For hee shall deliuer the needy when he crieth: the poore also, and him that hath no helper.
- 13
- He shal spare the poore and needy, and shall saue the soules of the needy.
- 14
- He shall redeeme their soule from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood be in his sight.
- 15
- And he shall liue, and to him shalbe giuen of the gold of Sheba;
prayer also shalbe made for him continually, and daily shall he be praised.
- 16
- There shalbe an handfull of corne in the earth vpon the top of the mountaines;
the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon, and they of the citie shall flourish like grasse of the earth.
- 17
- His name shall endure for euer: his name shalbe continued as long as the sunne: and men shalbe blessed in him;
all nations shall call him blessed.
- 18
- Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, who only doth wonderous things.
- 19
- And blessed be his glorious name for euer, and let the whole earth be filled with his glory.
Amen, and Amen.
- 20
- The prayers of Dauid the sonne of Iesse, are ended.
