¹ A psalm on Solomon.	¹ A Psalm of Asaph. How good is God to Israel, to those who are upright in heart.
² Give to the king thy judgment, O God: and to the king's son thy justice: To judge thy people with justice, and thy poor with judgment.	² But my feet were nearly moved; my steps had nearly slipped.
³ Let the mountains receive peace for the people: and the hills justice.	³ For I was zealous over the iniquitous, seeing the peacefulness of sinners.
⁴ He shall judge the poor of the people, and he shall save the children of the poor: and he shall humble the oppressor.	⁴ For they have no respect for their death, nor do they have support in their wounds.
⁵ And he shall continue with the sun, and before the moon, throughout all generations.	⁵ They are not with the hardships of men, nor will they be scourged with men.
⁶ He shall come down like rain upon the fleece; and as showers falling gently upon the earth.	⁶ Therefore, arrogance has held on to them. They have been covered with their iniquity and impiety.
⁷ In his days shall justice spring up, and abundance of peace, till the moon be taken sway.	⁷ Their iniquity has proceeded, as if from fat. They have parted from the affection of the heart.
⁸ And he shall rule from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.	⁸ They have thought and spoken wickedness. They have spoken iniquity in high places.
⁹ Before him the Ethiopians shall fall down: and his enemies shall lick the ground.	⁹ They have set their mouth against heaven, and their tongue has traversed the earth.
¹⁰ The kings of Tharsis and the islands shall offer presents: the kings of the Arabians and of Saba shall bring gifts:	¹⁰ Therefore, my people will be converted here, and fullness of days will be found in them.
¹¹ And all kings of the earth shall adore him: all nations shall serve him.	¹¹ And they said, “How would God know?” and, “Isn’t there knowledge in high places?”
¹² For he shall deliver the poor from the mighty: and the needy that had no helper.	¹² Behold, these are sinners, and, abounding in this age, they have obtained riches.
¹³ He shall spare the poor and needy: and he shall save the souls of the poor.	¹³ And I said: So then, it is without purpose that I have justified my heart and washed my hands among the innocent.
¹⁴ He shall redeem their souls from usuries and iniquity: and their names shall be honourable in his sight.	¹⁴ And I have been scourged all day long, and I have received my chastisement in the mornings.
¹⁵ And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Arabia, for him they shall always adore: they shall bless him all the day.	¹⁵ If I were to say that I would explain this: Behold, I would condemn this nation of your sons.
¹⁶ And there shall be a firmament on the earth on the tops of mountains, above Libanus shall the fruit thereof be exalted : and they of the city shall flourish like the grass of the earth.	¹⁶ I considered, so that I might know this. It is a hardship before me,
¹⁷ Let his name be blessed for evermore : his name continueth before the sun. And in him shall all the tribes of the earth be blessed: all nations shall magnify him.	¹⁷ until I may enter into the Sanctuary of God, and understand it to its last part.
¹⁸ Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, who alone doth wonderful things.	¹⁸ So, because of deceitfulness, truly, you have placed it before them. While they were being lifted up, you were casting them down.
¹⁹ And blessed be the name of his majesty for ever: and the whole earth shall be filled with his majesty. So be it. So be it.	¹⁹ How have they been brought to desolation? They have suddenly failed. They have perished because of their iniquity.
²⁰ The praises of David, the son of Jesse, are ended.	²⁰ As a dream is to those who awaken, O Lord, so will you reduce their image to nothing in your city.
	²¹ For my heart has been inflamed, and my temperament has been changed.
	²² And so, I have been reduced to nothing, and I did not know it.
	²³ I have become like a beast of burden to you, and I am always with you.
	²⁴ You have held my right hand. And in your will, you have conducted me, and with your glory, you have taken me up.
	²⁵ For what is there for me in heaven? And what do I wish for on earth before you?
	²⁶ My body has failed, and my heart: O God of my heart, and God my portion, into eternity.
	²⁷ For behold, those who put themselves far from you will perish. You have perished all those who fornicate away from you.
	²⁸ But it is good for me to adhere to God, to put my hope in the Lord God, so that I may announce all your prophecies, at the gates of the daughter of Zion.
