1 O God, make the king right in what he decides. Make the king’s son right with You.

Oh Dios, da tu juicio al rey, Y tu justicia al hijo del rey.

2 M ay he be right when he decides who is right and who is wrong and may he be fair to the poor.

Él juzgará a tu pueblo con justicia, Y a tus afligidos con juicio.

3 L et mountains and hills bring peace to the people through what is right and good.

Los montes llevarán paz al pueblo, Y los collados justicia.

4 M ay he stand by those who are poor, save the children of those in need, and destroy the bad power over them.

Juzgará a los afligidos del pueblo, Salvará a los hijos del menesteroso, Y aplastará al opresor.

5 M ay all the children-to-come fear You as long as the sun and the moon last.

Te temerán mientras duren el sol Y la luna, de generación en generación.

6 M ay He come down like rain upon the cut grass, like rain that waters the earth.

Descenderá como la lluvia sobre la hierba cortada; Como el rocío que destila sobre la tierra.

7 I n His days may all go well with those who are right and good. And may there be much peace until the moon is no more.

Florecerá en sus días la justicia, Y muchedumbre de paz, hasta que no haya luna.

8 M ay he also rule from sea to sea, and from the river to the ends of the earth.

Dominará de mar a mar, Y desde el río hasta los confines de la tierra.

9 T hose who live in the desert will put their faces to the ground before Him. And those who hate Him will kiss the dust.

Ante él se postrarán los moradores del desierto, Y sus enemigos lamerán el polvo.

10 L et the kings of Tarshish and of the islands bring gifts. Let the kings of Sheba and Seba bring gifts.

Los reyes de Tarsis y de las costas traerán presentes; Los reyes de Sabá y de Seba ofrecerán dones.

11 Y es, let all kings fall down at His feet, and all nations serve Him.

Todos los reyes se postrarán delante de él; Todas las naciones le servirán.

12 F or He will take out of trouble the one in need when he cries for help, and the poor man who has no one to help.

Porque él librará al menesteroso que clame, Y al afligido que no tenga quien le socorra.

13 H e will have loving-pity on the weak and those in need. He will save the lives of those in need.

Tendrá misericordia del pobre y del menesteroso, Y salvará la vida de los pobres.

14 H e will take them from the bad power that is held over them and from being hurt. Their blood will be of much worth in His eyes.

De engaño y de violencia redimirá sus almas, Y la sangre de ellos será preciosa ante sus ojos.

15 H e will live, and the gold of Sheba will be given to Him. Prayer will be given for Him all the time. Let them honor Him all day long.

Vivirá, y se le dará del oro de Sabá, Y se orará por él continuamente; Todo el día se le bendecirá.

16 M ay there be much grain in the land on top of the mountains. May its fruit grow like the trees of Lebanon. And may those of the city grow like the grass of the earth.

Será echado un puñado de grano en la tierra, en las cumbres de los montes; Su fruto hará ruido como el Líbano, Y los de la ciudad florecerán como la hierba de la tierra.

17 M ay His name last forever. May His name become bigger as long as the sun shines. And let men respect themselves through Him. Let all nations honor Him.

Será su nombre para siempre, Se perpetuará su nombre mientras dure el sol. Benditas serán en él todas las naciones; Lo llamarán bienaventurado.

18 H onor and thanks be to the Lord God, the God of Israel, Who alone does great things.

Bendito Jehová Dios, el Dios de Israel, El único que hace maravillas.

19 A nd honor be to His great name forever. May the whole earth be filled with His shining-greatness. Let it be so.
