Salutation
... in the name of the Father, and
of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
Amen. Through the prayers of our
holy Fathers, Lord Jesus Christ our God, have mercy on us and save us. Amen. Glory
to You, our God, Glory to You.
O Heavenly King: Prayer to the Holy
Ghost
O
Heavenly King, the Comforter, the Spirit of truth, You are everywhere and fill
all things, Treasury of blessings, and Giver of life: come and abide in us, and
cleanse us from every impurity, and save our souls, O Good One.
[A
Psalm] for Solomon.
Give the king Your judgments, O God, Your
righteousness to the king’s son.
He shall judge Your people
with righteousness, Your poor with judgment: the mountains shall bring
peace to the people, the little hills, by righteousness. He shall judge the poor of the
people. He shall save the children of
the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor: they shall fear You as long as
the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations. He shall come down like rain on
the mown grass, as showers water the earth. In his days shall the
righteous flourish, and abundance of peace, so long as the moon endures. He shall have dominion also
from sea to sea, and from the river to the ends of the earth.
Those who dwell in the wilderness
shall bow before him. His enemies shall
lick the dust. The kings of Tarshish and of
the isles shall bring presents. The
kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts. Yes, all kings shall fall
down before him. All nations shall serve
him: for He shall deliver the
needy when he cries, the poor also, and [him]
that has no helper.
He shall spare the poor and
needy, and shall save the souls of the needy. He shall redeem their soul
from deceit and violence. Precious shall
their blood be in his sight. He shall live. He shall be given of the gold of Sheba. Prayer also shall be made for him continually.
Daily shall He be praised: there shall be a handful of
corn in the earth [even] on the top
of the mountains. The fruit of it shall
shake like Lebanon. [They] of the city shall flourish like
grass of the earth. His name shall endure forever.
His name shall be continued as long as
the sun. [Men] shall be blessed in him. All nations shall call him blessed.
Blessed [be] the Lord God, the God of Israel. Who only does wondrous things. Blessed [be] His glorious name forever. Let the whole earth be filled [with] His Glory. Amen. Amen.
The prayers of David the son
of Jesse are ended.
[i] David
prays, evidently, not long before his death, for his son Solomon. But most of David's requests in this Psalm
will only be answered in Christ.
