The Koine Bible

For Solomon. O God, give your judgment to the king, and your righteousness to the son of the king.

to judge your people in righteousness and your poor in judgment

May the mountains receive peace for your people, and the hills in righteousness.

He will judge the poor of the people, and he will save the sons of the needy, and he will humble the oppressor.

and he shall remain alongside the sun, and before the moon, generations of generations

And he shall come down like rain upon fleece, and like drops dripping upon the earth.

In his days righteousness shall rise, and abundance of peace, until the moon is taken away

And he shall rule from sea to sea and from the river to the ends of the inhabited world.

Before him the Ethiopians will fall down, and his enemies will lick the dust.

The kings of Tarshish and the islands will bring gifts; the kings of the Arabians and of Saba will bring gifts.

And all the kings will do obeisance to him; all the nations will serve him.

For he delivered the poor from the hand of the mighty man, and the needy one, who had no helper.

He will spare the poor and needy, and he will save the souls of the needy.

From usury and from injustice he will redeem their souls, and their name will be honorable before him

And he shall live, and there shall be given to him of the gold of Arabia, and they shall pray concerning him continually; all the day they shall bless him

There will be support in the land, on the tops of the mountains; its fruit will be lifted up above Lebanon, and they shall blossom out of the city like the grass of the earth.

May his name be blessed forever; before the sun his name will continue, and in him all the tribes of the earth will be blessed; all the nations will call him blessed.

Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, who does wonders alone

And blessed be the name of his glory forever and forever of the age, and let all the earth be filled with his glory. So be it, so be it.

The hymns of David son of Jesse are ended.
