1 Give the king your judgements, O God, ♦︎
and your righteousness to the son of a king.
2 Then shall he judge your people righteously ♦︎
and your poor with justice.
3 May the mountains bring forth peace, ♦︎
and the little hills righteousness for the people.
4 May he defend the poor among the people, ♦︎
deliver the children of the needy and crush the oppressor.
5 May he live as long as the sun and moon endure, ♦︎
from one generation to another.
6 May he come down like rain upon the mown grass, ♦︎
like the showers that water the earth.
7 In his time shall righteousness flourish, ♦︎
and abundance of peace
till the moon shall be no more.
8 May his dominion extend from sea to sea ♦︎
and from the River to the ends of the earth.
