¹⁷ until I go into the sanctuary of God; and so understand the latter end.

¹⁹ And blessed be the name of his majesty into without end; and all earth shall be filled with his majesty; be it done, be it done. (And blessed be his majestic name forever; let all the earth be filled with his majesty, or his glory; be it done, be it done.)

²⁰ The prayers, or praisings, or hymns, of David, the son of Jesse, be ended.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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