1 God, give the king your good judgmentand the king’s son your goodness.
2 Help him judge your people fairly.Help him decide what is right for the poor.
3 Let there be peace on the mountainsand goodness on the hills.
4 Help him be fair to the poor.Help him save the needyand punish those who hurt them.
5 Help him live as long as the sun shines.Help him rule as long as the moon glows.Let him be king from now on!
6 Let him be like rain on the grass,like showers that water the earth.
7 Let goodness be plentiful while he lives.Let peace continue as long as there is a moon.
