Psalm
R. In his days may righteousness flourish, and peace abound forever.
Give the king your justice, O God, and your righteousness to a king’s son. May he judge your people with righteousness, and your poor with justice. R.
In his days may righteousness flourish and peace abound, until the moon is no more. May he have dominion from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth. R.
For he delivers the needy one who calls, the poor and the one who has no helper. He has pity on the weak and the needy, and saves the lives of the needy. R.
May his name endure forever, his fame continue as long as the sun. May all nations be blessed in him; may they pronounce him happy. R.
