A Solomonic Psalm
1 O Elohim, bestow Your right judgments on the king, And Your righteousness on the royal son. 2 May he adjudicate Your people with righteousness, And Your humbled ones with redress. 3 May the mountains bear peace for the people, And the hills blossom with righteousness. 4 May he redress the humbled of the people; May he save the sons of the needy And crush the exploiter. 5 He shall abide long as the sun And before the moon, generation after generations. 6 He shall descend like rain on the grassland, Like showers, drenching the earth. 7 Righteousness shall bud in His day, And abundant peace until the moon is no more. 8 He shall hold sway from sea unto sea, And from the stream unto the limits of the earth. 9 Before Him His foes shall bow, And His enemies shall lick up the soil. 10 The kings of Tarshish and the coastlands shall render a tributary present; The kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer levy. 11 And all the kings shall bow down to Him; All nations shall serve Him. 12 For He shall rescue the needy one imploring, And the humbled one, when there is no helper for him. 13 He shall be a refuge for the poor and needy one, And the souls of the needy shall He save. 14 From fraud and from violence shall He redeem their soul, And their blood shall be precious in His eyes. 15 So may He live; May one give to Him from Sheba's gold, And may one pray about Him continually; May the entire day bless Him. 16 There shall come to be a plenitude of cereal in the earth to the summit of the mountains. Its fruit shall rustle like Lebanon, And they of the city shall blossom like herbage of the earth. 17 His Name shall remain for the eon; Before the sun shall His Name be propagated, And all nations shall bless themselves in Him and call Him happy. 18 Blessed be Yahweh, Elohim, the Elohim of Israel, Doing marvelous works by Himself alone, 19 And blessed be His glorious Name for the eon! The entire earth shall be filled with His glory!
