תהילים עב

Of Solomon.
O God, endow the king with Your judgments,
the king’s son with Your righteousness;

that he may judge Your people rightly,
Your lowly ones, justly.

Let the mountains produce well-being for the people,
the hills, the reward of justice.

Let him champion the lowly among the people,
deliver the needy folk,
and crush those who wrong them.

Let them fear You as long as the sun shines,
while the moon lasts, generations on end.

Let him be like rain that falls on a mown field,
like a downpour of rain on the ground,

that the righteous may flourish in his time,
and well-being abound, till the moon is no more.

Let him rule from sea to sea,
from the river to the ends of the earth.

Let desert-dwellers kneel before him,
and his enemies lick the dust.

Let kings of Tarshish and the islands pay tribute,
kings of Sheba and Seba offer gifts.

Let all kings bow to him,
and all nations serve him.

For he saves the needy who cry out,
the lowly who have no helper.

He cares about the poor and the needy;
He brings the needy deliverance.

He redeems them from fraud and lawlessness;
the shedding of their blood weighs heavily upon him.

So let him live, and receive gold of Sheba;
let prayers for him be said always,
blessings on him invoked at all times.

Let abundant grain be in the land, to the tops of the mountains;
let his crops thrive like the forest of Lebanon;
and let the people sprout up in towns like country grass.

May his name be eternal;
while the sun lasts, may his name endure;
let peoples invoke his blessedness upon themselves;
let all nations count him happy.

Blessed is the ETERNAL God, God of Israel,
who alone does wondrous things;

Blessed is God’s glorious name forever;
such glory fills the whole world.
Amen and Amen.

End of the prayers of David son of Jesse.
