1  Give the king your ^rjustice, O God,

and your righteousness to the royal son!

2  May he ^sjudge your people with righteousness,

and your poor with justice!

12  For he delivers ^lthe needy when he calls,

the poor and him who has no helper.

13  He has pity on the weak and the needy,

and saves the lives of the needy.

14  From oppression and violence he redeems their life,

and ^mprecious is their blood in his sight.
