For Solomon. O God, give thy judgment to the king, and thy righteousness to the king's son;

¹

Εἰς Σαλωμών. Ο ΘΕΟΣ, τὸ κρίμα σου τῷ βασιλεῖ δὸς καὶ τὴν δικαιοσύνην σου τῷ υἱῷ τοῦ βασιλέως

²

that he may judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment.

²

κρίνειν τὸν λαόν σου ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ καὶ τοὺς πτωχούς σου ἐν κρίσει.

³

Let the mountains and the hills raise peace to thy people:

³

ἀναλαβέτω τὰ ὄρη εἰρήνην τῷ λαῷ σου καὶ οἱ βουνοὶ δικαιοσύνην.

⁴

he shall judge the poor of the people in righteousness, and save the children of the needy; and shall bring low the false accuser.

⁴

κρινεῖ τοὺς πτωχοὺς τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ σώσει τοὺς υἱοὺς τῶν πενήτων καὶ ταπεινώσει συκοφάντην

⁵

And he shall continue as long as the sun, and before the moon for ever.

⁵

καὶ συμπαραμενεῖ τῷ ἡλίῳ καὶ πρὸ τῆς σελήνης γενεὰς γενεῶν.

⁶

He shall come down as rain upon a fleece; and as drops falling upon the earth.

⁶

καταβήσεται ὡς ὑετὸς ἐπὶ πόκον καὶ ὡσεὶ σταγὼν ἡ στάζουσα ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν.

⁷

In his days shall righteousness spring up; and abundance of peace till the moon be removed.

⁷

ἀνατελεῖ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις αὐτοῦ δικαιοσύνη καὶ πλῆθος εἰρήνης, ἕως οὗ ἀνταναιρεθῇ ἡ σελήνη.

⁸

And he shall have dominion from sea to sea, and from the river to the ends of the earth.

⁸

καὶ κατακυριεύσει ἀπὸ θαλάσσης ἕως θαλάσσης καὶ ἀπὸ ποταμῶν ἕως περάτων τῆς οἰκουμένης.

⁹

The Ethiopians shall fall down before him; and his enemies shall lick the dust.

⁹

ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ προπεσοῦνται Αἰθίοπες, καὶ οἱ ἐχθροὶ αὐτοῦ χοῦν λείξουσι.

¹⁰

The kings of Tharsis, and the isles, shall bring presents: the kings of the Arabians and Saba shall offer gifts.

¹⁰

βασιλεῖς Θαρσὶς καὶ νῆσοι δῶρα προσοίσουσι, βασιλεῖς ᾿Αράβων καὶ Σαβᾶ δῶρα προσάξουσι.

¹¹

And all kings shall worship him; all the Gentiles shall serve him.

¹¹

καὶ προσκυνήσουσιν αὐτῷ πάντες οἱ βασιλεῖς τῆς γῆς, πάντα τὰ ἔθνη δουλεύσουσιν αὐτῷ.

¹²

For he has delivered the poor from the oppressor; and the needy who had no helper.

¹²

ὅτι ἐρρύσατο πτωχὸν ἐκ δυνάστου καὶ πένητα, ᾧ οὐχ ὑπῆρχε βοηθός.

¹³

He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall deliver the souls of the needy.

¹³

φείσεται πτωχοῦ καὶ πένητος καὶ ψυχὰς πενήτων σώσει.

¹⁴

He shall redeem their souls from usury and injustice: and their name shall be precious before him.

¹⁴

ἐκ τόκου καὶ ἐξ ἀδικίας λυτρώσεται τὰς ψυχὰς αὐτῶν, καὶ ἔντιμον τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν.

¹⁵

And he shall live, and there shall be given him of the gold of Arabia: and men shall pray for him continually; and all the day shall they praise him.

¹⁵

καὶ ζήσεται, καὶ δοθήσεται αὐτῷ ἐκ τοῦ χρυσίου τῆς ᾿Αραβίας, καὶ προσεύξονται περὶ αὐτοῦ διαπαντός, ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν εὐλογήσουσιν αὐτόν.

¹⁶

There shall be an establishment on the earth on the tops of the mountains: the fruit thereof shall be exalted above Libanus, and they of the city shall flourish as grass of the earth.

¹⁶

ἔσται στήριγμα ἐν τῇ γῇ ἐπ᾿ ἄκρων τῶν ὀρέων· ὑπεραρθήσεται ὑπὲρ τὸν Λίβανον ὁ καρπὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐξανθήσουσιν ἐκ πόλεως ὡσεὶ χόρτος τῆς γῆς.

¹⁷

Let his name be blessed for ever: his name shall endure longer than the sun: and all the tribes of the earth shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him blessed.

¹⁷

ἔσται τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ εὐλογημένον εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας, πρὸ τοῦ ἡλίου διαμένει τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐνευλογηθήσονται ἐν αὐτῷ πᾶσαι αἱ φυλαὶ τῆς γῆς, πάντα τὰ ἔθνη μακαριοῦσιν αὐτόν.

¹⁸

Blessed is the Lord God of Israel, who alone does wonders.

¹⁸

εὐλογητὸς Κύριος, ὁ Θεὸς τοῦ ᾿Ισραήλ, ὁ ποιῶν θαυμάσια μόνος,

¹⁹

And blessed is his glorious name for ever, even for ever and ever: and all the earth shall be filled with his glory. So be it, so be it.

¹⁹

καὶ εὐλογητὸν τὸ ὄνομα τῆς δόξης αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα καὶ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος, καὶ πληρωθήσεται τῆς δόξης αὐτοῦ πᾶσα ἡ γῆ. γένοιτο, γένοιτο. ᾿Εξέλιπον οἱ ὕμνοι Δαυΐδ τοῦ υἱοῦ ᾿Ιεσσαί.
