1Give the king thy judgments, O God, And thy righteousness unto the king’s son.

1 Give the king thy judgments, O God, And thy righteousness unto the king’s son.

1By Solomon. O God, Thy judgments to the king give, And Thy righteousness to the king's son.

1 OGod, give the king thy judgments, and thy righteousness unto the king's son.

2He will judge thy people with righteousness, And thy poor with justice.

2He judgeth Thy people with righteousness, And Thy poor with judgment.

2 He will judge thy people with righteousness, and thine afflicted with judgment.

3The mountains shall bring peace to the people, And the hills, in righteousness.

4He will judge the poor of the people, He will save the children of the needy, And will break in pieces the oppressor.

4He judgeth the poor of the people, Giveth deliverance to the sons of the needy, And bruiseth the oppressor.

4 He will do justice to the afflicted of the people; he will save the children of the needy, and will break in pieces the oppressor.

5They shall fear thee while the sun endureth, And so long as the moon, throughout all generations.

5They fear Thee with the sun, and before the moon, Generation--generations.

5 They shall fear thee as long as sun and moon endure, from generation to generation.

6He will come down like rain upon the mown grass, As showers that water the earth.

6He cometh down as rain on mown grass, As showers--sprinkling the earth.

6 He shall come down like rain on the mown grass, as showers that water the earth.

7In his days shall the righteous flourish, And abundance of peace, till the moon be no more.

7Flourish in his days doth the righteous, And abundance of peace till the moon is not.

8He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, And from the River unto the ends of the earth.

8And he ruleth from sea unto sea, And from the river unto the ends of earth.

10The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall render tribute: The kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.

10Kings of Tarshish and of the isles send back a present. Kings of Sheba and Seba a reward bring near.

11Yea, all kings shall fall down before him; All nations shall serve him.

11And all kings do bow themselves to him, All nations do serve him,

12For he will deliver the needy when he crieth, And the poor, that hath no helper.

12For he delivereth the needy who crieth, And the poor when he hath no helper,

12 For he will deliver the needy who crieth, and the afflicted, who hath no helper;

13He will have pity on the poor and needy, And the souls of the needy he will save.

13He hath pity on the poor and needy, And the souls of the needy he saveth,

13 He will have compassion on the poor and needy, and will save the souls of the needy:

14He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence; And precious will their blood be in his sight:

14From fraud and from violence he redeemeth their soul, And precious is their blood in his eyes.

14 He will redeem their souls from oppression and violence, and precious shall their blood be in his sight.

15And they shall live; and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: And men shall pray for him continually; They shall bless him all the day long.

15And he liveth, and giveth to him of the gold of Sheba, And prayeth for him continually, All the day he doth bless him.

15 And he shall live; and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba; and prayer shall be made for him continually: all the day shall he be blessed.

16There shall be abundance of grain in the earth upon the top of the mountains; The fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon: And they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.

16There is a handful of corn in the earth, On the top of mountains, Shake like Lebanon doth its fruit, And they flourish out of the city as the herb of the earth.

16 There shall be abundance of corn in the earth, upon the top of the mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon; and they of the city shall bloom like the herb of the earth.

17His name shall endure for ever; His name shall be continued as long as the sun: And men shall be blessed in him; All nations shall call him happy.

17His name is to the age, Before the sun is his name continued, And they bless themselves in him, All nations do pronounce him happy.

17 His name shall endure for ever; his name shall be continued as long as the sun: and [men] shall bless themselves in him; all nations shall call him blessed.
