1 O God, give the king your justice
2 so that he may judge your people with righteousness
3 May the mountains bring peace to the people
4 May he grant justice to the people who are oppressed.
5 May they fear you as long as the sun and moon ⌞shine⌟—
6 May he be like rain that falls on ⌞freshly⌟ cut grass,
7 May righteous people blossom in his day.
8 May he rule from sea to sea,
9 May the people of the desert kneel in front of him.
10 May the kings from Tarshish and the islands bring presents.
11 May all kings worship him.
12 He will rescue the needy person who cries for help
13 He will have pity on the poor and needy
14 He will rescue them from oppression and violence.
15 May he live long.
16 May there be plenty of grain in the land.
17 May his name endure forever.
18 Thank the Lord God, the God of Israel,
19 Thanks be to his glorious name forever.
20 The prayers by David, son of Jesse, end here.
