- 1[A Psalm for Solomon.] Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the king's son.לִשְׁלֹמֹ֨ה אֱֽלֹהִ֗ים מִ֭שְׁפָּטֶיךָ לְמֶ֣לֶךְ תֵּ֑ן וְצִדְקָתְךָ֥ לְבֶן מֶֽלֶךְ
- 2He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment.יָדִ֣ין עַמְּךָ֣ בְצֶ֑דֶק וַעֲנִיֶּ֥יךָ בְמִשְׁפָּֽט
- 3The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness.יִשְׂא֤וּ הָרִ֓ים שָׁ֘ל֥וֹם לָעָ֑ם וּ֝גְבָע֗וֹת בִּצְדָקָֽה
- 4He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor.יִשְׁפֹּ֤ט עֲֽנִיֵּי עָ֗ם י֭וֹשִׁיעַ לִבְנֵ֣י אֶבְי֑וֹן וִֽידַכֵּ֣א עוֹשֵֽׁק
- 5They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations.יִֽירָא֥וּךָ עִם שָׁ֑מֶשׁ וְלִפְנֵ֥י יָ֝רֵ֗חַ דּ֣וֹר דּוֹרִֽים
- 6He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers that water the earth.יֵ֭רֵד כְּמָטָ֣ר עַל גֵּ֑ז כִּ֝רְבִיבִ֗ים זַרְזִ֥יף אָֽרֶץ
- 7In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth.יִֽפְרַח בְּיָמָ֥יו צַדִּ֑יק וְרֹ֥ב שָׁ֝ל֗וֹם עַד בְּלִ֥י יָרֵֽחַ
- 8He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.וְ֭יֵרְדְּ מִיָּ֣ם עַד יָ֑ם וּ֝מִנָּהָ֗ר עַד אַפְסֵי אָֽרֶץ
- 9They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; and his enemies shall lick the dust.לְ֭פָנָיו יִכְרְע֣וּ צִיִּ֑ים וְ֝אֹיְבָ֗יו עָפָ֥ר יְלַחֵֽכוּ
- 10The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.מַלְכֵ֬י תַרְשִׁ֣ישׁ וְ֭אִיִּים מִנְחָ֣ה יָשִׁ֑יבוּ מַלְכֵ֥י שְׁבָ֥א וּ֝סְבָ֗א אֶשְׁכָּ֥ר יַקְרִֽיבוּ
- 11Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve him.וְיִשְׁתַּחֲווּ כָל מְלָכִ֑ים כָּל גּוֹיִ֥ם יַֽעַבְדֽוּהוּ
- 12For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper.כִּֽי יַ֭צִּיל אֶבְי֣וֹן מְשַׁוֵּ֑עַ וְ֝עָנִ֗י וְֽאֵין עֹזֵ֥ר
- 13He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy.יָ֭חֹס עַל דַּ֣ל וְאֶבְי֑וֹן וְנַפְשׁ֖וֹת אֶבְיוֹנִ֣ים יוֹשִֽׁיעַ
- 14He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood be in his sight.מִתּ֣וֹךְ וּ֭מֵחָמָס יִגְאַ֣ל נַפְשָׁ֑ם וְיֵיקַ֖ר דָּמָ֣ם בְּעֵינָֽיו
- 15And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: prayer also shall be made for him continually; and daily shall he be praised.וִיחִ֗י וְיִתֶּן מִזְּהַ֪ב שְׁ֫בָ֥א וְיִתְפַּלֵּ֣ל בַּעֲד֣וֹ תָמִ֑יד כָּל הַ֝יּ֗וֹם יְבָרֲכֶֽנְהֽוּ
- 16There shall be an handful of corn in the earth upon the top of the mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon: and they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.יְהִ֤י פִסַּת בַּ֨ר בָּאָרֶץ֮ בְּרֹ֪אשׁ הָ֫רִ֥ים יִרְעַ֣שׁ כַּלְּבָנ֣וֹן פִּרְי֑וֹ וְיָצִ֥יצוּ מֵ֝עִ֗יר כְּעֵ֣שֶׂב הָאָֽרֶץ
- 17His name shall endure for ever: his name shall be continued as long as the sun: and men shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him blessed.יְהִ֤י שְׁמ֨וֹ לְֽעוֹלָ֗ם לִפְנֵי שֶׁמֶשׁ֮ ינין יִנּ֪וֹן שְׁ֫מ֥וֹ וְיִתְבָּ֥רְכוּ כָּל גּוֹיִ֥ם יְאַשְּׁרֽוּהוּ
- 18Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things.בָּר֤וּךְ יְהוָ֣ה אֱ֭לֹהִים אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל עֹשֵׂ֖ה נִפְלָא֣וֹת לְבַדּֽוֹ
- 19And blessed be his glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled with his glory; Amen, and Amen.וּבָר֤וּךְ שֵׁ֥ם כְּבוֹד֗וֹ לְע֫וֹלָ֥ם וְיִמָּלֵ֣א כְ֭בוֹדוֹ אֶת כֹּ֥ל הָאָ֗רֶץ אָ֘מֵ֥ן וְאָמֵֽן
- 20The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.כָּלּ֥וּ תְפִלּ֑וֹת דָּ֝וִ֗ד בֶּן יִשָֽׁי

YHWSA calculates these totals directly from every consonant in the tagged Hebrew source line using the Carlo Suarès letter-number system; vowel points and cantillation marks do not add values. The totals are not reverse-mapped from English. A matching number is a comparison to investigate, not proof that two passages mean the same thing.
