2bHe will judge Your people with righteousness,

And Your poor with justice.

3cThe mountains will bring peace to the people,

And the little hills, by righteousness.

4dHe will bring justice to the poor of the people;

He will save the children of the needy,

And will 1break in pieces the oppressor.

52They shall fear You

eAs long as the sun and moon endure,

Throughout all generations.

6fHe shall come down like rain upon the grass before mowing,

Like showers that water the earth.

7In His days the righteous shall flourish,

gAnd abundance of peace,

Until the moon is no more.

8hHe shall have dominion also from sea to sea,

And from the River to the ends of the earth.

9iThose who dwell in the wilderness will bow before Him,

jAnd His enemies will lick the dust.

10kThe kings of Tarshish and of the isles

Will bring presents;

The kings of Sheba and Seba

Will offer gifts.

11lYes, all kings shall fall down before Him;

All nations shall serve Him.

12For He mwill deliver the needy when he cries,

The poor also, and him who has no helper.

13He will spare the poor and needy,

And will save the souls of the needy.

14He will redeem their life from oppression and violence;

And nprecious shall be their blood in His sight.

15And He shall live;

And the gold of oSheba will be given to Him;

Prayer also will be made for Him continually,

And daily He shall be praised.
