1 God, give the king your good judgmentand the king’s son your goodness.
2 Help him judge your people fairlyand decide what is right for the poor.
3 Let there be peace on the mountainsand goodness on the hills for the people.
4 Help him be fair to the poorand save the needyand punish those who hurt them.
5 May they respect you as long as the sun shinesand as long as the moon glows.
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.
