GIVE the King thy judgments, O God, * and thy righteousness unto the King's son.
 
Then shall he judge thy people according unto right, * and defend the poor.
 
The mountains also shall bring peace, * and the little hills righteousness unto the people.
 
He shall keep the simple folk by their right, * defend the children of the poor, and punish the wrong doer.
 
They shall fear thee, as long as the sun and moon endureth, * from one generation to another.
 
He shall come down like the rain upon the mown grass, * even as the drops that water the earth.
 
In his time shall the righteous flourish; * yea, and abundance of peace, so long as the moon endureth.
 
His dominion shall be also from the one sea to the other, * and from the River unto the world's end.
 
They that dwell in the wilderness shall kneel before him; * his enemies shall lick the dust.
 
The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall give presents; * the kings of Arabia and Saba shall bring gifts.
 
All kings shall fall down before him; * all nations shall do him service.
 
For he shall deliver the poor when he crieth; * the needy also, and him that hath no helper.
 
He shall be favourable to the simple and needy, * and shall preserve the souls of the poor.
 
He shall deliver their souls from falsehood and wrong; * and dear shall their blood be in his sight.
 
He shall live, and unto him shall be given of the gold of Arabia; * prayer shall be made ever unto him, and daily shall he be praised.
 
There shall be an heap of corn in the earth, high upon the hills ; the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon: * and they of the city shall flourish like grass upon the earth.
 
His Name shall endure for ever; his Name shall remain under the sun among the posterities, which shall be blessed in him; * and all the nations shall praise him.
 
Blessed be the LORD God, even the God of Israel, * which only doeth wondrous things;
 
And blessed be the Name of his majesty for ever: * and all the earth shall be filled with his majesty. Amen, Amen.
