1 By Solomon. O God, Thy judgments to the king give, And Thy righteousness to the king's son.

1 לִשְׁלֹמֹ֨ה׀ אֱ‍ֽלֹהִ֗ים מִ֭שְׁפָּטֶיךָ לְמֶ֣לֶךְ תֵּ֑ן וְצִדְקָתְךָ֥ לְבֶן־מֶֽלֶךְ׃

2 He judgeth Thy people with righteousness, And Thy poor with judgment.

2 יָדִ֣ין עַמְּךָ֣ בְצֶ֑דֶק וַעֲנִיֶּ֥יךָ בְמִשְׁפָּֽט׃

3 The mountains bear peace to the people, And the heights by righteousness.

3 יִשְׂא֤וּ הָרִ֓ים שָׁ֘לֹ֥ום לָעָ֑ם וּ֝גְבָעֹ֗ות בִּצְדָקָֽה׃

4 He judgeth the poor of the people, Giveth deliverance to the sons of the needy, And bruiseth the oppressor.

4 יִשְׁפֹּ֤ט׀ עֲ‍ֽנִיֵּי־עָ֗ם יֹ֭ושִׁיעַ לִבְנֵ֣י אֶבְיֹ֑ון וִֽידַכֵּ֣א עֹושֵֽׁק׃

5 They fear Thee with the sun, and before the moon, Generation -- generations.

5 יִֽירָא֥וּךָ עִם־שָׁ֑מֶשׁ וְלִפְנֵ֥י יָ֝רֵ֗חַ דֹּ֣ור דֹּורִֽים׃

6 He cometh down as rain on mown grass, As showers -- sprinkling the earth.

6 יֵ֭רֵד כְּמָטָ֣ר עַל־גֵּ֑ז כִּ֝רְבִיבִ֗ים זַרְזִ֥יף אָֽרֶץ׃

7 Flourish in his days doth the righteous, And abundance of peace till the moon is not.

7 יִֽפְרַח־בְּיָמָ֥יו צַדִּ֑יק וְרֹ֥ב לֹ֗ום עַד־בְּלִ֥י יָרֵֽחַ׃

8 And he ruleth from sea unto sea, And from the river unto the ends of earth.

8 וְ֭יֵרְדְּ מִיָּ֣ם עַד־יָ֑ם וּ֝מִנָּהָ֗ר עַד־אַפְסֵי־אָֽרֶץ׃

9 Before him bow do the inhabitants of the dry places, And his enemies lick the dust.

9 לְ֭פָנָיו יִכְרְע֣וּ צִיִּ֑ים וְ֝אֹיְבָ֗יו עָפָ֥ר יְלַחֵֽכוּ׃

10 Kings of Tarshish and of the isles send back a present. Kings of Sheba and Seba a reward bring near.

10 מַלְכֵ֬י תַרְשִׁ֣ישׁ וְ֭אִיִּים מִנְחָ֣ה יָשִׁ֑יבוּ מַלְכֵ֥י שְׁבָ֥א וּ֝סְבָ֗א אֶשְׁכָּ֥ר יַקְרִֽיבוּ׃

11 And all kings do bow themselves to him, All nations do serve him,

11 וְיִשְׁתַּחֲווּ־לֹ֥ו כָל־מְלָכִ֑ים כָּל־גֹּויִ֥ם יַֽעַבְדֽוּהוּ׃

12 For he delivereth the needy who crieth, And the poor when he hath no helper,

12 כִּֽי־יַ֭צִּיל אֶבְיֹ֣ון מְשַׁוֵּ֑עַ וְ֝עָנִ֗י וְֽאֵין־עֹזֵ֥ר לֹֽו׃

13 He hath pity on the poor and needy, And the souls of the needy he saveth,

13 יָ֭חֹס עַל־דַּ֣ל וְאֶבְיֹ֑ון וְנַפְשֹׁ֖ות אֶבְיֹונִ֣ים יֹושִֽׁיעַ׃

14 From fraud and from violence he redeemeth their soul, And precious is their blood in his eyes.

14 מִתֹּ֣וךְ וּ֭מֵחָמָס יִגְאַ֣ל נַפְשָׁ֑ם וְיֵיקַ֖ר דָּמָ֣ם בְּעֵינָֽיו׃

15 And he liveth, and giveth to him of the gold of Sheba, And prayeth for him continually, All the day he doth bless him.

15 וִיחִ֗י וְיִתֶּן־לֹו֮ מִזְּהַ֪ב שְׁ֫בָ֥א וְיִתְפַּלֵּ֣ל בַּעֲדֹ֣ו תָמִ֑יד כָּל־הַ֝יֹּ֗ום יְבָרֲכֶֽנְהֽוּ׃

16 There is a handful of corn in the earth, On the top of mountains, Shake like Lebanon doth its fruit, And they flourish out of the city as the herb of the earth.

16 יְהִ֤י פִסַּת־בַּ֨ר׀ בָּאָרֶץ֮ בְּרֹ֪אשׁ הָ֫רִ֥ים יִרְעַ֣שׁ כַּלְּבָנֹ֣ון פִּרְיֹ֑ו וְיָצִ֥יצוּ מֵ֝עִ֗יר כְּעֵ֣שֶׂב הָאָֽרֶץ׃

17 His name is to the age, Before the sun is his name continued, And they bless themselves in him, All nations do pronounce him happy.

17 יְהִ֤י שְׁמֹ֨ו לְֽעֹולָ֗ם לִפְנֵי־שֶׁמֶשׁ֮ יָנִין יִנֹּ֪ון שְׁ֫מֹ֥ו וְיִתְבָּ֥רְכוּ בֹ֑ו כָּל־גֹּויִ֥ם יְאַשְּׁרֽוּהוּ׃

18 Blessed is Jehovah God, God of Israel, He alone is doing wonders,

18 בָּר֤וּךְ׀ יְהוָ֣ה אֱ֭לֹהִים אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל עֹשֵׂ֖ה נִפְלָאֹ֣ות לְבַדֹּֽו׃

19 And blessed `is' the Name of His honour to the age, And the whole earth is filled `with' His honour. Amen, and amen!

19 וּבָר֤וּךְ׀ שֵׁ֥ם כְּבֹודֹ֗ו לְעֹ֫ולָ֥ם וְיִמָּלֵ֣א כְ֭בֹודֹו אֶת־כֹּ֥ל הָאָ֗רֶץ אָ֘מֵ֥ן׀ וְאָמֵֽן׃

20 The prayers of David son of Jesse have been ended.

20 כָּלּ֥וּ תְפִלֹּ֑ות דָּ֝וִ֗ד בֶּן־יִשָֽׁי׃
