1 Endow the king with your justice, O God, the royal son with your righteousness.2 May he judge your people in righteousness, your afflicted ones with justice.3 May the mountains bring prosperity to the people, the hills the fruit of righteousness.4 May he defend the afflicted among the people and save the children of the needy; may he crush the oppressor.5 May he endure "as long as the sun, as long as the moon, through all generations.6 May he be like rain falling on a mown field, like showers watering the earth.7 In his days may the righteous flourish and prosperity abound till the moon is no more.8 May he rule from sea to sea and from the River "to the ends of the earth.9 May the desert tribes bow before him and his enemies lick the dust.10 May the kings of Tarshish and of distant shores bring tribute to him. May the kings of Sheba and Seba present him gifts.11 May all kings bow down to him and all nations 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.15 Long may he live! May gold from Sheba be given him. May people ever pray for him and bless him all day long.16 May grain abound throughout the land; on the tops of the hills may it sway. May the crops flourish like Lebanon and thrive "like the grass of the field.17 May his name endure forever; may it continue as long as the sun. Then all nations will be blessed through him, "and they will call him blessed.18 Praise be to the LORD God, the God of Israel, who alone does marvelous deeds.19 Praise be to his glorious name forever; may the whole earth be filled with his glory. Amen and Amen.20 This concludes the prayers of David son of Jesse.

1 Psalmus Asaph. [Quam bonus Isral Deus,his qui recto sunt corde !2 Mei autem pene moti sunt pedes,pene effusi sunt gressus mei :3 quia zelavi super iniquos,pacem peccatorum videns.4 Quia non est respectus morti eorum,et firmamentum in plaga eorum.5 In labore hominum non sunt,et cum hominibus non flagellabuntur.6 Ideo tenuit eos superbia ;operti sunt iniquitate et impietate sua.7 Prodiit quasi ex adipe iniquitas eorum ;transierunt in affectum cordis.8 Cogitaverunt et locuti sunt nequitiam ;iniquitatem in excelso locuti sunt.9 Posuerunt in clum os suum,et lingua eorum transivit in terra.10 Ideo convertetur populus meus hic,et dies pleni invenientur in eis.11 Et dixerunt : Quomodo scit Deus,et si est scientia in excelso ?12 Ecce ipsi peccatores, et abundantes in sculoobtinuerunt divitias.13 Et dixi : Ergo sine causa justificavi cor meum,et lavi inter innocentes manus meas,14 et fui flagellatus tota die,et castigatio mea in matutinis.15 Si dicebam : Narrabo sic ;ecce nationem filiorum tuorum reprobavi.16 Existimabam ut cognoscerem hoc ;labor est ante me :17 donec intrem in sanctuarium Dei,et intelligam in novissimis eorum.18 Verumtamen propter dolos posuisti eis ;dejecisti eos dum allevarentur.19 Quomodo facti sunt in desolationem ?subito defecerunt : perierunt propter iniquitatem suam.20 Velut somnium surgentium, Domine,in civitate tua imaginem ipsorum ad nihilum rediges.21 Quia inflammatum est cor meum,et renes mei commutati sunt ;22 et ego ad nihilum redactus sum, et nescivi :23 ut jumentum factus sum apud te,et ego semper tecum.24 Tenuisti manum dexteram meam,et in voluntate tua deduxisti me,et cum gloria suscepisti me.25 Quid enim mihi est in clo ?et a te quid volui super terram ?26 Defecit caro mea et cor meum ;Deus cordis mei, et pars mea, Deus in ternum.27 Quia ecce qui elongant se a te peribunt ;perdidisti omnes qui fornicantur abs te.28 Mihi autem adhrere Deo bonum est ;ponere in Domino Deo spem meam :ut annuntiem omnes prdicationes tuasin portis fili Sion.]
