A Psalm for Solomon.
1 Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the king’s son.
2 He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment.
3 The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness.
4 He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor.
5 They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations.
6 He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers that water the earth.
7 In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth.
8 He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.
9 They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; and his enemies shall lick the dust.
10 The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
11 Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve him.
12 For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper.
13 He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy.
14 He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood be in his sight.
15 And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: prayer also shall be made for him continually; and daily shall he be praised.
16 There shall be an handful of corn in the earth upon the top of the mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon: and they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.
17 His name shall endure for ever: his name shall be continued 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 doeth wondrous things.
19 And blessed be his glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled with his glory; Amen, and Amen.
20 The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
1 psalmus Asaph
Quam bonus Israhel Deus his qui recto sunt corde
2 mei autem paene moti sunt pedes paene effusi sunt gressus mei
3 quia zelavi super iniquis 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 prodiet quasi ex adipe iniquitas eorum
transierunt in affectum cordis
8 cogitaverunt et locuti sunt in nequitia
iniquitatem in excelso locuti sunt
9 posuerunt in caelum 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 saeculo obtinuerunt divitias
13 ÷et dixi: ergo sine causa iustificavi cor meum
et lavi inter innocentes manus meas
14 et fui flagellatus tota die et castigatio mea in matutino
15 si dicebam narrabo sic ecce nationem filiorum tuorum reprobavi
16 et existimabam cognoscere
hoc labor est ante me
17 donec intrem in sanctuarium Dei
intellegam in novissimis eorum
18 verumtamen propter dolos posuisti eis
deiecisti eos dum adlevarentur
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 iumentum 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 caelo et a te quid volui super terram
26 defecit caro mea et cor meum Deus cordis mei
et pars mea Deus in aeternum
27 quia ecce qui elongant se a te peribunt
perdidisti omnem qui fornicatur abs te
28 mihi autem adherere Deo bonum est
ponere in Domino Deo spem meam
ut adnuntiem omnes praedicationes tuas ÷in portis filiae Sion:
