Psalms 71:1-11

¹A psalm on Solomon.

²Give 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.

³Let the mountains receive peace for the people: and the hills justice.

⁴He shall judge the poor of the people, and he shall save the children of the poor: and he shall humble the oppressor.

⁵And he shall continue with the sun, and before the moon, throughout all generations.

⁶He shall come down like rain upon the fleece; and as showers falling gently upon the earth.

⁷In his days shall justice spring up, and abundance of peace, till the moon be taken sway.

⁸And he shall rule from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.

⁹Before him the Ethiopians shall fall down: and his enemies shall lick the ground.

¹⁰The kings of Tharsis and the islands shall offer presents: the kings of the Arabians and of Saba shall bring gifts:

¹¹And all kings of the earth shall adore him: all nations shall serve him.
