1A Psalm. A song for the Sabbath day.
It is good to praise the LORD,
and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High,
1A Psalm. A Song for the Sabbath day. It is good to give thanks to YHWH, and to sing praise to Your name, O Most High,
2to proclaim Your loving devotion in the morning
and Your faithfulness at night
2to declare in the morning Your loving devotion, and Your faithfulness in the nights,
3with the ten-stringed harp
and the melody of the lyre.
3on ten strings and on the harp, with a melody of the lyre.
4For You, O LORD, have made me glad by Your deeds;
I sing for joy at the works of Your hands.
4For You have made me glad, O YHWH, by Your work; at the works of Your hands I shout for joy.
5How great are Your works, O LORD,
how deep are Your thoughts!
5How great are Your works, O YHWH, how very deep Your thoughts!
6A senseless man does not know,
and a fool does not understand,
6A stupid man does not know, and a fool cannot understand this:
7that though the wicked sprout like grass,
and all evildoers flourish,
they will be forever destroyed.
7The wicked sprout like grass, and all the workers of iniquity blossom, to be destroyed forever and ever!
8But You, O LORD, are exalted forever!
8And You are on high forever, O YHWH!
9For surely Your enemies, O LORD,
surely Your enemies will perish;
all evildoers will be scattered.
9For behold, Your enemies, O YHWH—for behold, Your enemies will perish; all the workers of iniquity will be scattered!
10But You have exalted my horn like that of a wild ox;
with fine oil I have been anointed.
10But You have lifted high my horn like that of a wild ox; I have been anointed with fresh oil.
11My eyes see the downfall of my enemies;
my ears hear the wailing of my wicked foes.a
11And my eye has looked on my enemies; of those rising up against me, those doing evil, my ears hear.
12The righteous will flourish like a palm tree,
and grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
12The righteous one will sprout like a palm tree; like a cedar in Lebanon he will grow.
13Planted in the house of the LORD,
they will flourish in the courts of our God.
13Those planted in the house of YHWH, in the courts of our God, they will sprout.
14In old age they will still bear fruit;
healthy and green they will remain,
14Still bearing fruit in old age, they will remain fat and flourishing—
15to proclaim, “The LORD is upright; He is my Rock,
and in Him there is no unrighteousness.”
15to declare that YHWH my Rock is upright, and there is no injustice in Him.
