| A Psalm for Solomon. |
|
| |
|
| 1 Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the king's son. |
|
| 2 He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment. |
|
| 3 The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness. |
|
| 4 He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor. |
break in pieces – This is what is accomplished by the Lord and His church. Consider the smiting of the image (Dan. 2:44-45) and the work done by the 6 men of Ezekiel 9 (Eze. 9:2, 5-7) [Note: in Eze. 9:2 the 'slaughter weapon' is 'a weapon of his breaking in pieces' - margin.] |
| 5 They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations. |
|
| 6 He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers that water the earth. |
|
| 7 In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth. |
so long as the moon endureth – The moon here refers to the New (Law) Covenant. |
| 8 He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth. |
|
| 9 They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; and his enemies shall lick the dust. |
|
| 10 The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts. |
|
| 11 Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve him.
|
|
| 12 For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper. |
|
| 13 He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy. |
|
| 14 He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood be in his sight. |
|
| 15 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. |
|
| 16 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. |
|
| 17 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. |
|
| 18 Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things. |
|
| 19 And blessed be his glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled with his glory; Amen, and Amen. |
|
| 20 The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended. |
