Give the king your righteousness

(1 Kings 3:1-15; 2 Chronicles 1:1-13; Psalm 45:1-17)
1
BY SOLOMON. O God, give Your judgments to the king, || And Your righteousness to the king’s Son.
2
He judges Your people with righteousness, || And Your poor with judgment.
3
The mountains bear peace to the people, || And the heights by righteousness.
4
He judges the poor of the people, || Gives deliverance to the sons of the needy, || And bruises the oppressor.
5
They fear You with the sun, and before the moon, || Generationgenerations.
6
He comes down as rain on mown grass, || As showers—sprinkling the earth.
7
The righteous flourish in His days, || And abundance of peace until the moon is not.
8
And He rules from sea to sea, || And from the river to the ends of the earth.
9
Desert-dwellers bow before Him, || And His enemies lick the dust.
10
Kings of Tarshish and of the islands send back a present. Kings of Sheba and Seba bring a reward near.
11
And all kings bow themselves to Him, || All nations serve Him,
12
For He delivers the needy who cries, || And the poor when he has no helper,
13
He has pity on the poor and needy, || And He saves the souls of the needy,
14
He redeems their soul from fraud and from violence, || And their blood is precious in His eyes.
15
And He lives, and the gold of Sheba [is] given to Him, || And prayer is continually made for Him, || All day He is continually blessed.
16
There is a handful of grain in the earth, || On the top of mountains, || Its fruit shakes like Lebanon, || And they flourish out of the city as the herb of the earth.
17
His Name is for all time, || Before the sun is His Name continued, || And they bless themselves in Him, || All nations pronounce Him blessed.
18
Blessed is YHWH God, God of Israel, || He alone is doing wonders,
19
And blessed [is] the Name of His glory for all time, || And the whole earth is filled [with] His glory. Amen and amen!
20
The prayers of David son of Jesse have been ended.

Give the king your righteousness

(1 Kings 3:1-15; 2 Chronicles 1:1-13; Psalm 45:1-17)
1
God, give the king your justice; your righteousness to the royal son.
2
He will judge your people with righteousness, and your poor with justice.
3
The mountains shall bring prosperity to the people. The hills bring the fruit of righteousness.
4
He will judge the poor of the people. He will save the children of the needy, and will break the oppressor in pieces.
5
They shall fear you while the sun endures; and as long as the moon, throughout all generations.
6
He will come down like rain on the mown grass, as showers that water the earth.
7
In his days, the righteous shall flourish, and abundance of peace, until the moon is no more.
8
He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, from the River to the ends of the earth.
9
Those who dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him. His enemies shall lick the dust.
10
The kings of Tarshish and of the islands will bring tribute. The kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
11
Yes, all kings shall fall down before him. All nations shall serve him.
12
For he will deliver the needy when he cries; the poor, who has no helper.
13
He will have pity on the poor and needy. He will save the souls of the needy.
14
He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence. Their blood will be precious in his sight.
15
He will live; and Sheba’s gold will be given to him. Men will pray for him continually. They will bless him all day long.
16
Abundance of grain shall be throughout the land. Its fruit sways like Lebanon. Let it flourish, thriving like the grass of the field.
17
His name endures forever. His name continues as long as the sun. Men shall be blessed by him. All nations will call him blessed.
18
Praise be to the LORD God, the God of Israel, who alone does marvelous deeds.
19
Blessed be his glorious name forever! Let the whole earth be filled with his glory! Amen and amen.
20
This ends the prayers by David, the son of Jesse.
