Psalm laxii,

Give the king thy judgments, 0 God, and thy righteous'
Less unto the king's son. He shall judge thy people with
righteousness, and thy poor with judgment. The mountains
shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by
teousuecs. He shall judge the poor of the people, he Slit'
save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the
oppressor, They shall fear thee as long as the sun and mom!
endure, throughout all generations. He shall come down like
rain upon the mown grass : as showers that water the earth'
In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance °f
peace so long as the moon endureth. He shall have doiniail
also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends °
the earth, They that dwell in the wilderness shall be!
before him ; and his enemies shall lick the dust. The kings
of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents : the kill
of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts. Yea, all kings aly
fall down before him : all nations shall serve him. For
he shall deliver the needy when ho crieth ; the P°°
also, and him that bath no helper. He shall spare the
poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the no*
He shall redeem their soul from deceit and 14°'
lence : and previous shall their blood be in his sigh
ht
And he shall live, and to him shall be given of
gold of Sheba : prayer also shalt be made for him outlaw
ally ; and daily shall he be praised. There shall be a!
handful of corn in the earth upou the top of the mountatilfi •
the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon : and they of tha°
city shall flourish like grass of the earth. His name sh
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. Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel'
who only doeth wondrous things, And blessed be hls
glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled
with his glory : Amen, and Amen.
