71.22 :O Thou Holy One of Israel.
 * My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing praises unto Thee;
 * And my soul, which Thou hast redeemed.
 * My tongue also shall tell of Thy righteousness all the day;
 * For they are ashamed, for they are abashed, that seek my hurt.

[A Psalm] of Solomon.


 * Give the king Thy judgments, O God,
 * And Thy righteousness unto the king's son;
 * That he may judge Thy people with righteousness,
 * And Thy poor with justice.
 * Let the mountains bear peace to the people,
 * And the hills, through righteousness.
 * May he judge the poor of the people,
 * And save the children of the needy,
 * And crush the oppressor.
 * They shall fear Thee while the sun endureth,
 * And so long as the moon, throughout all generations.
 * May he come down like rain upon the mown grass,
 * As showers that water the earth.
 * In his days let the righteous flourish,
 * And abundance of peace, till the moon be no more.


 * May he have dominion also from sea to sea,
 * And from the River unto the ends of the earth.
 * Let them that dwell in the wilderness bow before him;
 * And his enemies lick the dust.
 * The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall render tribute;
 * The kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
 * Yea, all kings shall prostrate themselves before him;
 * All nations shall serve him.
 * For he will deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper.
 * He will have pity on the poor and needy,
 * And the souls of the needy he will save.
 * He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence,
 * And precious will their blood be in his sight.
 * That they may live, and that he may give them of the gold of Sheba,
 * That they may pray for him continually,
 * Yea, bless him all the day.
 * May he be as a rich cornfield in the land upon the top of the mountains;
 * May his fruit rustle like Lebanon;
 * And may they blossom out of the city like grass of the earth.
 * May his name endure for ever;
 * May his name be continued as long as the sun;
 * May men also bless themselves by him;
 * May all nations call him happy.


 * Blessed be the 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.
