1. O God, grant the king the ability to make just decisions!Grant the king’s son the ability to make fair decisions!
2. Then he will judge your people fairly,and your oppressed ones equitably.
3. The mountains will bring news of peace to the people,and the hills will announce justice.
4. He will defend the oppressed among the people;he will deliver the children of the poorand crush the oppressor.
5. People will fear you as long as the sun and moon remain in the sky,for generation after generation.
6. He will descend like rain on the mown grass,like showers that drench the earth.
7. During his days the godly will flourish;peace will prevail as long as the moon remains in the sky.
8. May he rule from sea to sea,and from the Euphrates River to the ends of the earth!
9. Before him the coastlands will bow down,and his enemies will lick the dust.
