Church of England 1662 Book of Common Prayer

English text

1  Give the King thy judgements, O God : and thy righteousness unto the King's son.

2  Then shall he judge thy people according unto right : and defend the poor.

3  The mountains also shall bring peace : and the little hills righteousness unto the people.

4  He shall keep the simple folk by their right : defend the children of the poor, and punish the wrong-doer.

5  They shall fear thee, as long as the sun and moon endureth : from one generation to another.

6  He shall come down like the rain into a fleece of wool : even as the drops that water the earth.

7  In his time shall the righteous flourish : yea, and abundance of peace, so long as the moon endureth.

8  His dominion shall be also from the one sea to the other : and from the flood unto the world's end.

9  They that dwell in the wilderness shall kneel before him : his enemies shall lick the dust.

10  The kings of Tharsis and of the isles shall give presents : the kings of Arabia and Saba shall bring gifts.

11  All kings shall fall down before him : all nations shall do him service.

12  For he shall deliver the poor when he crieth : the needy also, and him that hath no helper.

13  He shall be favourable to the simple and needy : and shall preserve the souls of the poor.

14  He shall deliver their souls from falsehood and wrong : and dear shall their blood be in his sight.

15  He shall live, and unto him shall be given of the gold of Arabia : prayer shall be made ever unto him, and daily shall he be praised.

16  There shall be an heap of corn in the earth, high upon the hills : his fruit shall shake like Libanus, and shall be green in the city like grass upon the earth.

17  His Name shall endure for ever; his Name shall remain under the sun among the posterities : which shall be blessed through him; and all the heathen shall praise him.

18  Blessed be the Lord God, even the God of Israel : which only doeth wondrous things;

19  And blessed be the Name of his majesty for ever : and all the earth shall be filled with his majesty. Amen, Amen.
