Antiphon. Blessed be the Lord: let his glory fill the earth. O god, give your judgement to the king, To a King’s son your justice, That he may judge your people in justice And your poor in right judgement.
2. May the mountains bring forth peace for the people And the hills, justice! May he defend the poor of the people And save the children of the needy.
3. He shall endure like the sun and the moon, From age to age. He shall descend like rain on the meadow, Like raindrops on the earth.
4. In his days justice shall flourish And peace till the moon fails. He shall rule from sea to sea, From the Great River to earth’s bounds.
5. Before him his enemies shall fall, His foes lick the dust. The kings of Tarshish and the sea coasts Shall pay him tribute. 7
6. The kings of Sheba and Seba Shall bring him gifts. Before him all kings shall fall prostrate, All nations shall serve him.
7. For he shall save the poor when they cry, And the needy who are helpless. He will have pity on the weak and Save the lives of the poor.
8. From oppression he will rescue their lives, To him their blood is dear. They shall pray for him without ceasing, Bless him all the day.
9. May corn be abundant in the land, To the peaks of the mountains! May its fruit rustle like Lebanon, May men flourish in the cities Like grass on the earth! 1 0. May his name be blessed for ever, And endure like the sun. Every tribe shall be blessed in him, All nations bless his name. 1 1 . Blessed be the Lord, God of Israel, Who alone works wonders. Ever blessed his glorious name! Let his glory fill the earth.
