A psalm. A song; for the sabbath day. It is good to give thanks to the Lord, to sing praise to your name, O Most High,
2 to proclaim your loving kindness in the morning, and your faithfulness every night,
to declare your love in the morning, and your faithfulness in the night,
3 with the ten-stringed lute, with the harp, and with the melody of the lyre.
with voice and a ten-stringed harp, with music that throbs on the lyre.
4 For you, LORD, have made me glad through your work. I will triumph in the works of your hands.
For you make me glad by your deeds, Lord, at the work of your hands I will ring out my joy.
5 How great are your works, LORD! Your thoughts are very deep.
How great are your works, O Lord; how deep are your thoughts!
6 A senseless man doesn’t know, neither does a fool understand this:
The insensitive cannot know, nor can a fool understand,
7 though the wicked spring up as the grass, and all the evildoers flourish, they will be destroyed forever.
that, though the wicked flourish like grass, and evildoers all blossom, they will perish forever.
8 But you, LORD, are on high forever more.
But you are exalted forever.
9 For behold, your enemies, LORD, for behold, your enemies shall perish. All the evildoers will be scattered.
For see! Your enemies, Lord For see! Your enemies perish, all evildoers are scattered.
10 But you have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox. I am anointed with fresh oil.
But you lift me to honor, and anoint me afresh with oil.
11 My eye has also seen my enemies. My ears have heard of the wicked enemies who rise up against me.
My eyes will feast on my foes, and my ears will hear of the doom of the wicked.
12 The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree. He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
The righteous will sprout like the palm, will grow like a cedar of Lebanon.
13 They are planted in the LORD’s house. They will flourish in our God’s courts.
In the house of the Lord are they planted, in the courts of our God they will sprout.
14 They will still produce fruit in old age. They will be full of sap and green,
They will still bear fruit in old age, all sappy and fresh will they be
15 to show that the LORD is upright. He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
So they proclaim the Lord to be just, my rock, in whom is no wrong.
