([Prayers of David]) O God, give the king your justice. Give your righteousness to the royal son. He will judge your people with righteousness, and your poor with justice. The mountains shall bring prosperity to the people. The hills bring the fruit of righteousness. read more.
He will judge the poor of the people. He will save the children of the needy, and will break the oppressor in pieces. They will fear you as long as the sun and moon endures, throughout all generations. He will come down like rain on the mown grass, like showers that water the earth. In his day the righteous will flourish. There will be abundance of peace, until the moon is no more. He will have dominion from sea to sea, from the Euphrates River to the ends of the earth. Those who dwell in the wilderness will bow before him. His enemies shall lick the dust. The kings of Tarshish and of the isles will bring tribute (presents). The kings of Sheba and Seba will offer gifts. Yes, all kings will bow down before him. All nations will serve him. When he cries he will deliver the needy and the poor who have no helper. He will have pity on the poor and needy. He will save the needy. He will redeem (rescue) them from oppression and violence. Their blood will be precious in his sight. He will live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba. Men shall pray for him continually. They shall praise him all day long. There shall be abundance of grain throughout the land. Its fruit sways like Lebanon. Let it flourish, thriving like the grass of the field. His name will endure forever. His name will continue as long as the sun shines. May all nations be blessed through him and call him blessed.

She took him to her bed and put the dead child in my bed. The next morning I woke up and was going to nurse my baby. It was dead. I looked at it more closely and saw that it was not my child. The other woman said: The living child is mine, and the dead one is yours! The first woman answered back: The dead child is yours, and the living one is mine! They argued before the king. King Solomon said: Each of you claims that the living child is hers and that the dead child belongs to the other one. He sent for a sword. When it arrived, he said: Cut the living child in two and give each woman half of it. With a heart full of love for her son the real mother said: Please, Your Majesty, do not kill the child! Give it to her! But the other woman said: Do not give it to either of us cut it in two. Then Solomon said: Do not kill the child! Give it to the first woman. She is the real mother. The people of Israel heard of Solomon's decision and were all filled with deep respect for him. They knew then that God had given him the wisdom to settle disputes fairly.

Jesus stood before the governor. He asked him: Are you the King of the Jews? Jesus said to him: It is as you say.

Barabbas or Jesus, the one called the Christ? He knew it was because of envy they gave him up. While he was seated in judgment his wife sent a message to him. She said, Do not judge that righteous man. I have had much trouble this day in a dream because of him. The chief priests and elders got the people to request Barabbas, and for Jesus to be put to death. The governor responded to them. He asked: Which of the two do you want me to set free? They shouted: Barabbas! Pilate said to them: What am I to do with Jesus, the one called Christ? They all said: Put him to death. Impale him! What evil has he done? Pilate asked. But they shouted: Impale him! Pilate saw that he could do nothing. The people were ready to cause much trouble. He took water and washed his hands in front of the people. He said: The blood of this man is not on my hands. You are responsible. The people answered: Let his blood be on us, and on our children. He set Barabbas free. He had Jesus whipped. Then he commanded that he be put to death on the stake.
