1 A Psalm of Solomon. Give the king thy justice, O God, and thy righteousness to the royal son!	1 לִשְׁלֹמֹה ׀אֱֽלֹהִים מִשְׁפָּטֶיךָ לְמֶלֶךְ תֵּןוְצִדְקָתְךָ לְבֶן־מֶֽלֶךְ׃
2 May he judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with justice!	2 יָדִין עַמְּךָ בְצֶדֶקוַעֲנִיֶּיךָ בְמִשְׁפָּֽט׃
3 Let the mountains bear prosperity for the people, and the hills, in righteousness!	3 יִשְׂאוּ הָרִים שָׁלוֹם לָעָםוּגְבָעוֹת בִּצְדָקָֽה׃
4 May he defend the cause of the poor of the people, give deliverance to the needy, and crush the oppressor!	4 יִשְׁפֹּט ׀ עֲֽנִיֵּי־עָםיוֹשִׁיעַ לִבְנֵי אֶבְיוֹןוִידַכֵּא עוֹשֵֽׁק׃
5 May he live while the sun endures, and as long as the moon, throughout all generations!	5 יִירָאוּךָ עִם־שָׁמֶשׁוְלִפְנֵי יָרֵחַ דּוֹר דּוֹרִֽים׃
6 May he be like rain that falls on the mown grass, like showers that water the earth!	6 יֵרֵד כְּמָטָר עַל־גֵּזכִּרְבִיבִים זַרְזִיף אָֽרֶץ׃
7 In his days may righteousness flourish, and peace abound, till the moon be no more!	7 יִֽפְרַח־בְּיָמָיו צַדִּיקוְרֹב שָׁלוֹם עַד־בְּלִי יָרֵֽחַ׃
8 May he have dominion from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth!	8 וְיֵרְדְּ מִיָּם עַד־יָםוּמִנָּהָר עַד־אַפְסֵי־אָֽרֶץ׃
9 May his foes bow down before him, and his enemies lick the dust!	9 לְפָנָיו יִכְרְעוּ צִיִּיםוְאֹיְבָיו עָפָר יְלַחֵֽכוּ׃
10 May the kings of Tarshish and of the isles render him tribute, may the kings of Sheba and Seba bring gifts!	10 מַלְכֵי תַרְשִׁישׁ וְאִיִּיםמִנְחָה יָשִׁיבוּמַלְכֵי שְׁבָא וּסְבָאאֶשְׁכָּר יַקְרִֽיבוּ׃
11 May all kings fall down before him, all nations serve him!	11 וְיִשְׁתַּחֲווּ־לוֹ כׇל־מְלָכִיםכׇּל־גּוֹיִם יַעַבְדֽוּהוּ׃
12 For he delivers the needy when he calls, the poor and him who has no helper.	12 כִּֽי־יַצִּיל אֶבְיוֹן מְשַׁוֵּעַוְעָנִי וְֽאֵין־עֹזֵר לֽוֹ׃
13 He has pity on the weak and the needy, and saves the lives of the needy.	13 יָחֹס עַל־דַּל וְאֶבְיוֹןוְנַפְשׁוֹת אֶבְיוֹנִים יוֹשִֽׁיעַ׃
14 From oppression and violence he redeems their life; and precious is their blood in his sight.	14 מִתּוֹךְ וּמֵחָמָס יִגְאַל נַפְשָׁםוְיֵיקַר דָּמָם בְּעֵינָֽיו׃
15 Long may he live, may gold of Sheba be given to him! May prayer be made for him continually, and blessings invoked for him all the day!	15 וִיחִי וְיִתֶּן־לוֹ מִזְּהַב שְׁבָאוְיִתְפַּלֵּל בַּעֲדוֹ תָמִידכׇּל־הַיּוֹם יְבָרְכֶֽנְהוּ׃
16 May there be abundance of grain in the land; on the tops of the mountains may it wave; may its fruit be like Lebanon; and may men blossom forth from the cities like the grass of the field!	16 יְהִי פִסַּת־בַּר ׀ בָּאָרֶץ בְּרֹאשׁ הָרִיםיִרְעַשׁ כַּלְּבָנוֹן פִּרְיוֹוְיָצִיצוּ מֵעִיר כְּעֵשֶׂב הָאָֽרֶץ׃
17 May his name endure for ever, his fame continue as long as the sun! May men bless themselves by him, all nations call him blessed!	17 יְהִי שְׁמוֹ לְֽעוֹלָםלִפְנֵי־שֶׁמֶשׁ ינין יִנּוֹן שְׁמוֹוְיִתְבָּרְכוּ בוֹכׇּל־גּוֹיִם יְאַשְּׁרֽוּהוּ׃
18 Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who alone does wondrous things.	18 בָּרוּךְ ׀ יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהִים אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵלעֹשֵׂה נִפְלָאוֹת לְבַדּֽוֹ׃
19 Blessed be his glorious name for ever; may his glory fill the whole earth! Amen and Amen!	19 וּבָרוּךְ ׀ שֵׁם כְּבוֹדוֹ לְעוֹלָםוְיִמָּלֵא כְבוֹדוֹ אֶת־כֹּל הָאָרֶץאָמֵן ׀ וְאָמֵֽן׃
