1 Of Solomon. Give the king your authority, O God, and your righteousness to the king's son.
2 May he be a judge of your people in righteousness, and make true decisions for the poor.
3 May the mountains give peace to the people, and the hills righteousness.
4 May he be a judge of the poor among the people, may he give salvation to the children of those who are in need; by him let the violent be crushed.
5 May his life go on as long as the sun and moon, through all generations.
6 May he come down like rain on the cut grass; like showers watering the earth.
7 In his days may the upright do well, living in peace as long as there is a moon in heaven.
8 Let his kingdom be from sea to sea, from the River to the ends of the earth.
9 Let those who are against him go down before him; and let his haters be low in the dust.
10 Let the kings of Tarshish and of the islands come back with offerings; let the kings of Sheba and Seba give of their stores.
11 Yes, let all kings go down before him; let all nations be his servants.
12 For he will be a saviour to the poor in answer to his cry; and to him who is in need, without a helper.
13 He will have pity on the poor, and be the saviour of those who are in need.
14 He will keep their souls free from evil designs and violent attacks; and their blood will be of value in his eyes.
15 May he have long life, and may gold from Sheba be given to him: may prayers be made for him at all times; may blessings be on him every day.
16 May there be wide-stretching fields of grain in the land, shaking on the top of the mountains, full of fruit like Lebanon: may its stems be unnumbered like the grass of the earth.
17 May his name go on for ever, as long as the sun: may men be blessing themselves by him; may all nations be blessing his name.
18 Praise be to the Lord God, the God of Israel, the only doer of wonders.
19 Praise to the glory of his noble name for ever; let all the earth be full of his glory. So be it, So be it.
20 The prayers of David, the son of Jesse, are ended. A Psalm. Of Asaph.
1 神啊！ 求你把你的公正赐给王， 把你的公义赐给王子。（本节在《马索拉抄本》包括细字标题）
2 他要按着公义审判你的子民， 凭着公正审判你的困苦人。
3 因着公义， 愿大山和小山都给人民带来和平。
4 他必为民间的困苦人伸冤， 拯救贫穷人， 粉碎那欺压人的。
5 他必像日月一般长久， 直到万代（本节按照《马索拉抄本》应作"日月还在的时候， 愿人都敬畏你， 直到万代"； 现参照《七十士译本》翻译）。
6 他必像雨降在已割的草地上， 像甘霖滋润大地。
7 他在世的日子， 义人必兴旺， 四境太平， 直到月亮不再重现。
8 他要执掌权柄， 从这海到那海， 从大河直到地极。
9 住在旷野的人必向他屈身， 他的仇敌必舔尘土。
10 他施和海岛的列王都必带来礼物， 示巴和西巴的列王都必献上贡物。
11 众王都必向他俯伏， 万国都必服事他。
12 因为贫穷人呼求的时候， 他就搭救； 没有人帮助的困苦人， 他也搭救。
13 他必怜恤软弱和贫穷的人， 拯救贫穷人的性命。
14 他要救他们脱离欺凌和强暴， 他们的血在他眼中看为宝贵。
15 愿他长久活着， 愿人把示巴的金子奉给他， 愿人为他不住祷告， 终日给他祝福。
16 愿地上五谷丰登， 山顶上也都丰收； 愿地上的果实茂盛， 像黎巴嫩山的树林， 愿城里的人繁衍， 好像地上的青草。
17 愿他的名永远常存， 愿他的名延续像太阳的恒久； 愿万人都因他蒙福， 愿万国都称他为有福的。
18 独行奇事的以色列的 神， 就是耶和华 神， 是应当称颂的。
19 他荣耀的名也是应当永远称颂的； 愿他的荣耀充满全地。阿们， 阿们。
20 耶西的儿子大卫的祷告完毕。
