| L: Give the king your justice, O God, |
| P: and your righteousness to the royal son! |
| L: May he judge your people with righteousness, |
| P: and your poor with justice! |
| L: Let the mountains bear prosperity for the people, and the hills, in righteousness! |
| P: May he defend the cause of the poor of the people, give deliverance to the needy, |
| P: and crush the oppressor! |
| L: May he live while the sun endures, and as long as the moon, throughout all generations! |
| P: May he be like rain that falls on the mown grass, like showers that water the earth! |
| L: YIn his days may righteousness flourish, and peace abound, till the moon be no more! |
| P: May he have dominion from sea to sea, and from the river to the ends of the earth! |
