1. GIVE THE king [knowledge of] Your [way of] judging, O God, and [the spirit of] Your righteousness to the king's son [to control all his actions].
2. Let him judge and govern Your people with righteousness, and Your poor and afflicted ones with judgment and justice.
3. The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the hills, through [the general establishment of] righteousness.
4. May he judge and defend the poor of the people, deliver the children of the needy, and crush the oppressor,
5. So that they may revere and fear You while the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations.
6. May he [Solomon as a type of King David's greater Son] be like rain that comes down upon the mown grass, like showers that water the earth.
7. In His [Christ's] days shall the [uncompromisingly] righteous flourish and peace abound till there is a moon no longer. [Isa. 11:3-9.]
8. He [Christ] shall have dominion also from sea to sea and from the River [Euphrates] to the ends of the earth. [Zech. 14:9.]
9. Those who dwell in the wilderness shall bow before Him and His enemies shall lick the dust.
10. The kings of Tarshish and of the coasts shall bring offerings; the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
11. Yes, all kings shall fall down before Him, all nations shall serve Him. [Ps. 138:4.]
12. For He delivers the needy when he calls out, the poor also and him who has no helper.
