• Glory and Universality of the Messiah’s Reign

  • 1 Give the king Your judgments, O God, And Your righteousness to the king’s Son.
  • 2 He will judge Your people with righteousness, And Your poor with justice.
  • 3 The mountains will bring peace to the people, And the little hills, by righteousness.
  • 4 He will bring justice to the poor of the people; He will save the children of the needy, And will break in pieces the oppressor.
  • 5 They shall fear You As long as the sun and moon endure, Throughout all generations.
  • 6 He shall come down like rain upon the grass before mowing, Like 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, And from the River to the ends of the earth.
  • 9 Those who dwell in the wilderness will bow before Him, And His enemies will lick the dust.
  • 10 The kings of Tarshish and of the isles Will bring presents; The kings of Sheba and Seba Will 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 also, and him who has no helper.
  • 13 He will spare the poor and needy, And will save the souls of the needy.
  • 14 He will redeem their life from oppression and violence; And precious shall be their blood in His sight.
  • 15 And He shall live; And the gold of Sheba will be given to Him; Prayer also will be made for Him continually, And daily He shall be praised.
  • 16 There will be an abundance of grain in the earth, On the top of the mountains; Its fruit shall wave like Lebanon; And those of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.
  • 17 His name shall endure forever; His name shall continue as long as the sun. And men shall be blessed in Him; All nations shall call Him blessed.
  • 18 Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, Who only does wondrous things!
  • 19 And blessed be His glorious name forever! And let the whole earth be filled with His glory. Amen and Amen.
  • 20 The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
