2. He will judge your people in righteousness, your afflicted ones with justice.
3. The mountains will bring prosperity to the people, the hills the fruit of righteousness.
5. He will endure as long as the sun, as long as the moon, through all generations.
6. He will be like rain falling on a mown field, like showers watering the earth.
7. In his days the righteous will flourish; prosperity will abound till the moon is no more.
8. He will rule from sea to sea and from the River to the ends of the earth.
9. The desert tribes will bow before him and his enemies will lick the dust.
11. All kings will bow down to him and all nations will serve him.
12. For he will deliver the needy who cry out, the afflicted who have no one to help.
13. He will take pity on the weak and the needy and save the needy from death.
14. He will rescue them from oppression and violence, for precious is their blood in his sight.
18. Praise be to the LORD God, the God of Israel, who alone does marvelous deeds.
20. This concludes the prayers of David son of Jesse.
