1 Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the king’s son.
2 He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment.
3 The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness.
4 He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor.
5 They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations.
6 He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers that water the earth.
7 In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth.
8 He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.
9 They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; and his enemies shall lick 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 down before him: all nations shall serve him.
12 For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper.
13 He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy.
14 He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood be in his sight.
15 And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: prayer also shall be made for him continually; and daily shall he be praised.
16 There shall be an handful of corn 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.
17 His 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 blessed.
18 Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things.
19 And blessed be his glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled with his glory; Amen, and Amen.
20 The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
1 神啊! 求你把你的公正赐给王, 把你的公义赐给王子。(本节在《马索拉抄本》包括细字标题)
2 他要按着公义审判你的子民, 凭着公正审判你的困苦人。
3 因着公义, 愿大山和小山都给人民带来和平。
4 他必为民间的困苦人伸冤, 拯救贫穷人, 粉碎那欺压人的。
5 他必像日月一般长久, 直到万代(本节按照《马索拉抄本》应作"日月还在的时候, 愿人都敬畏你, 直到万代"; 现参照《七十士译本》翻译)。
6 他必像雨降在已割的草地上, 像甘霖滋润大地。
7 他在世的日子, 义人必兴旺, 四境太平, 直到月亮不再重现。
8 他要执掌权柄, 从这海到那海, 从大河直到地极。
9 住在旷野的人必向他屈身, 他的仇敌必舔尘土。
10 他施和海岛的列王都必带来礼物, 示巴和西巴的列王都必献上贡物。
11 众王都必向他俯伏, 万国都必服事他。
12 因为贫穷人呼求的时候, 他就搭救; 没有人帮助的困苦人, 他也搭救。
13 他必怜恤软弱和贫穷的人, 拯救贫穷人的性命。
14 他要救他们脱离欺凌和强暴, 他们的血在他眼中看为宝贵。
15 愿他长久活着, 愿人把示巴的金子奉给他, 愿人为他不住祷告, 终日给他祝福。
16 愿地上五谷丰登, 山顶上也都丰收; 愿地上的果实茂盛, 像黎巴嫩山的树林, 愿城里的人繁衍, 好像地上的青草。
17 愿他的名永远常存, 愿他的名延续像太阳的恒久; 愿万人都因他蒙福, 愿万国都称他为有福的。
18 独行奇事的以色列的 神, 就是耶和华 神, 是应当称颂的。
19 他荣耀的名也是应当永远称颂的; 愿他的荣耀充满全地。阿们, 阿们。
20 耶西的儿子大卫的祷告完毕。
