Prayer for Guidance and Support for the King
A Psalm of Solomon.
72 Give the king thy justice, O God,
and thy righteousness to the royal son!
2 May he judge thy people with righteousness,
and thy poor with justice!
3 Let the mountains bear prosperity for the people,
and the hills, in righteousness!
4 May he defend the cause of the poor of the people,
give deliverance to the needy,
and crush the oppressor!
5 May he live while the sun endures,
and as long as the moon, throughout all generations!
6 May he be like rain that falls on the mown grass,
like showers that water the earth!
7 In his days may righteousness flourish,
and peace abound, till the moon be no more!
8 May he have dominion from sea to sea,
and from the River to the ends of the earth!
9 May his foes bow down before him,
and his enemies lick the dust!
10 May the kings of Tarshish and of the isles
render him tribute,
may the kings of Sheba and Seba bring gifts!
11 May all kings fall down before him,
all nations serve him!
12 For he delivers the 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 precious is their blood in his sight.
15 Long may he live,
may gold of Sheba be given to him!
May prayer be made for him continually,
and blessings invoked for him all the day!
16 May there be abundance of grain in the land;
on the tops of the mountains may it wave;
may its fruit be like Lebanon;
and may men blossom forth from the cities
like the grass of the field!
17 May his name endure for ever,
his fame continue as long as the sun!
May men bless themselves by him,
all nations call him blessed!
18 Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,
who alone does wondrous things.
19 Blessed be his glorious name for ever;
may his glory fill the whole earth!
Amen and Amen!
20 The prayers of David, the son of Jesse, are ended.

I’m remembering
Versions: #1#2
White lillies beneath a crystal blue sky
Walks underneath snowflakes shapped like stars
Maples in the coulors of a fatal passion
I’ve not forgotten anything
I’m remembering
The smell of a wood like a lake that has been unveiled
Reflections of a big fire on our pale faces
A bright light through night of nothern lights
I’ve not forgotten anything
I’m remembering
I love your poems, your heart, your freedom
You are the only piece of ground
Where my heart can find rest
An accent whose secrets remain unknown
A French that dives into forgotten words
A way of singing that cannot be imitated
I’ve not forgotten anything
I’m remembering
I love your blasphemy, your faith, your dignity
You are like an island
That one cannot leave
Landscapes that mix up with more than perfect pictures
That nature will never paint again
The impression of being in the garden of peace
I’ve not forgotten anything
And I will return
