1 Endow the king with your justice, O
God,
the royal son with your
righteousness.
2 May he judge your people in
righteousness,
your afflicted ones with justice.
3 May the mountains
bring prosperity to the people,
the hills the fruit of
righteousness.
4 May he defend the afflicted among the
people
and save the children of the
needy;
may he crush the oppressor.
5 May he endure[a] as
long as the sun,
as long as the moon, through all
generations.
6 May he be like rain falling on a mown
field,
like showers watering the earth.
7 In his days may the righteous
flourish
and prosperity abound till the moon is no
more.
8 May he rule from
sea to sea
and from the River[b] to
the ends of the earth.
9 May the desert tribes bow before
him
and his enemies lick the dust.
10 May the kings of Tarshish and of
distant shores
bring tribute to him.
May the kings of Sheba and
Seba
present him gifts.
11 May all kings bow down to
him
and all nations serve him.
