1 | It is a good thing to give thanks to Yahweh, to sing praises to your name, Most High; |
2 | to proclaim your loving kindness in the morning, and your faithfulness every night, |
3 | with the ten-stringed lute, with the harp, and with the melody of the lyre. |
4 | For you, Yahweh, have made me glad through your work. I will triumph in the works of your hands. |
5 | How great are your works, Yahweh! Your thoughts are very deep. |
6 | A senseless man doesn't know, neither does a fool understand this: |
7 | though the wicked spring up as the grass, and all the evildoers flourish, they will be destroyed forever. |
8 | But you, Yahweh, are on high forevermore. |
9 | For, behold, your enemies, Yahweh, for, behold, your enemies shall perish. All the evildoers will be scattered. |
10 | But you have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox. I am anointed with fresh oil. |
11 | My eye has also seen my enemies. My ears have heard of the wicked enemies who rise up against me. |
12 | The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree. He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon. |
13 | They are planted in Yahweh's house. They will flourish in our God's courts. |
14 | They will still bring forth fruit in old age. They will be full of sap and green, |
15 | to show that Yahweh is upright. He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him. Psalm 93 |
