Endow the king with Your justice, O God
The royal son with Your righteousness
May he judge Your people in righteousness
Your afflicted ones with justice, my Lord

May the mountains bring prosperity to the people
The hills the fruit of righteousness
May he defend the afflicted among the people and save the children of the needy
May he crush the oppressor in his kindness

May he endure as long as the sun
As long as the moon, through all generations
May he be like rain falling on a mown field
Watering the earth like showers

In his days may the righteous flourish
And prosperity abound till the moon is no more
May he rule from sea to sea
And from the River to the ends of the earth

May the desert tribes bow before him
And his enemies lick the dust
May the kings of Tarshish and of distant shores bring tribute to him
May the kings of Sheba and Seba present him gifts as a must

May all kings bow down to him
And all nations serve him
For he will deliver the needy who cry out
To the afflicted who have no one to help will show the way out

He will take pity on the weak and the needy
And save the needy from death with his might
He will rescue them from oppression and violence
For precious is their blood in his sight

Long may he live!
May gold from Sheba be given him
May people bless him all day long
And ever pray for him

May grain abound throughout the land
On the tops of the hills may it sway
May the crops flourish like Lebanon
And thrive like the grass of the field night and day

May his name endure forever
May it continue as long as the sun
Then all nations will be blessed through him
And they will call him the blessed one

Praise be to the Lord God, the God of Israel
Who alone does marvelous deeds
Praise be to His glorious Name forever
Only You I believe

May the whole earth be filled with His glory
May His marvelous deeds will never be faded
Amen and Amen
This concludes the prayers of son of Jesse, David
