THE MOUNTAINS SHALL BRING PEACE TO THE PEOPLE

Give the king thy judgments, O God, 
and thy righteousness 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 righteousness.
He shall judge the poor of the 
people, he shall save the children 
of the needy, and shall break in 
pieces the oppressor.  They shall 
fear thee as long as the sun and 
moon 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 of peace so long as 
the moon endureth.  He shall have 
dominion also from sea to sea, and 
from the river unto the ends of the 
earth.  They that dwell in the 
wilderness shall bow before him; 
and his enemies shall lick the dust.
The kings of Tarshish and of the 
isles shall bring presents: the kings 
of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
Yea, all kings shall fall down 
before him: all nations shall serve 
him.  For he shall deliver the needy 
when he crieth; the poor also, and 
him that hath no helper.  He shall 
spare the poor and needy, and shall 
save the souls of the needy.  He 
shall redeem their soul from 
deceit and violence: and precious 
shall their blood be in his sight.
And he shall live, and to him 
shall be given of the gold of 
Sheba: prayer also shall be made 
for him continually; and daily 
shall he be praised.  There shall be 
an handful of corn in the earth upon 
the top of the mountains; the fruit 
thereof shall shake like Lebanon: 
and they of the city shall flourish 
like grass of the earth.  His name 
shall 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 his glorious name for 
ever: and let the whole earth be 
filled with his glory; Amen, and 
Amen. The prayers of David the 
son of Jesse are ended.
PSALM
