1 | A Canticle Psalm. On the day of the Sabbath. |
2 | It is good to confess to the Lord and to sing psalms to your name, O Most High: |
3 | to announce your mercy in the morning, and your truth throughout the night, |
4 | upon the ten strings, upon the psaltery, with a canticle, upon stringed instruments. |
5 | For you, O Lord, have delighted me with your doings, and I will exult in the works of your hands. |
6 | How great are your works, O Lord! Your thoughts have been made exceedingly deep. |
7 | A foolish man will not know these things, and a senseless one will not understand: |
8 | when sinners will have risen up like grass, and when all those who work iniquity will have appeared, that they shall pass away, age after age. |
9 | But you, O Lord, are the Most High for all eternity. |
10 | For behold your enemies, O Lord, for behold your enemies will perish, and all those who work iniquity will be dispersed. |
11 | And my horn will be exalted like that of the single-horned beast, and my old age will be exalted in fruitful mercy. |
12 | And my eye has looked down upon my enemies, and my ear will hear of the malignant rising up against me. |
13 | The just one will flourish like the palm tree. He will be multiplied like the cedar of Lebanon. |
14 | Those planted in the house of the Lord will flourish in the courts of the house of our God. |
15 | They will still be multiplied in a fruitful old age, and they will endure well, |
16 | so that they may announce that the Lord our God is righteous and that there is no iniquity in him. |
