Give the king your righteousness

(1 Kings 3:1-15; 2 Chronicles 1:1-13; Psalm 45:1-17)
1
A psalm of Solomon. Give the king your righteous decrees, God, your righteousness to the king’s son.
2
May he judge your people with righteousness and your poor with justice.
3
May the mountains produce peace for the people; may the hills produce righteousness.
4
May he judge the poor of the people; may he save the children of the needy and break in pieces the oppressor.
5
May they honor you while the sun endures, and as long as the moon lasts throughout all generations.
6
May he come down like rain on the mown grass, like showers that water the earth.
7
May the righteous flourish in his days, and may there be an abundance of peace till the moon is no more.
8
May he have dominion from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth.
9
May those who live in the wilderness bow down before him; may his enemies lick the dust.
10
May the kings of Tarshish and of the islands render tribute; may the kings of Sheba and Seba offer gifts.
11
Indeed, may all kings fall down before him; may all nations serve him.
12
For he helps the needy person who cries out and the poor person who has no other helper.
13
He has pity on the poor and needy, and he saves the lives of needy people.
14
He redeems their lives from oppression and violence, and their blood is precious in his sight.
15
May he live! May the gold of Sheba be given to him. May people always pray for him; may God bless him all day long.
16
May there be abundance of grain in the land; on the mountaintops may their crops wave. May the fruit of it be like Lebanon; may the people flourish in the cities like the grass of the field.
17
May his name endure forever; may his name continue as long as the sun; may people be blessed in him; may all nations call him blessed.
18
May Yahweh God, the God of Israel, be blessed, who alone does wonderful things.
19
May his glorious name be blessed forever, and may the whole earth be filled with his glory. Amen and Amen.
20
The prayers of David son of Jesse are finished.

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.

Blessed be his glorious name forever! Let the whole earth be filled with his glory! Amen and amen.
