Glory and Universality of the Messiah’s Reign

A Psalm of Solomon.

1 Give the king Your judgments, O God,
And Your righteousness to the king’s Son.
2 aHe will judge Your people with righteousness,
And Your poor with justice. 
3 aThe mountains will bring peace to the people,
And the little hills, by righteousness. 
4 aHe will bring justice to the poor of the people;
He will save the children of the needy,
And will1 break in pieces the oppressor. 
5 1They shall fear You
aAs long as the sun and moon endure,
Throughout all generations. 
6 aHe shall come down like rain upon the grass before mowing,
Like showers that water the earth.
