O God, give your judgment to the king;
your justice to the son of kings.
That he may govern your people with justice,
your oppressed with right judgment,
That the mountains may yield their bounty
for the people,
and the hills great abundance,
That he may defend the oppressed among the people,
save the poor and crush the oppressor.
That abundance may flourish in his days,
great bounty, till the moon be no more.
May he rule from sea to sea,
from the river to the ends of the earth.
For he rescues the poor when they cry out,
the oppressed who have no one to help.
He shows pity to the needy and the poor
and saves the lives of the poor.
May his name be blessed forever;
as long as the sun, may his name endure.
May the tribes of the earth give blessings with his name;
may all the nations regard him as favored.
Reflection
The Lord is the King who brings justice and fullness of peace. Are my actions just? Do they bring peace to me and those around me?
