1 | {A Psalm, a Song, for the Sabbath day.} It is good to give thanks unto Jehovah, and to sing psalms unto thy name, O Most High; |
2 | To declare thy loving-kindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness in the nights, |
3 | Upon an instrument of ten strings and upon the lute; upon the Higgaion with the harp. |
4 | For thou, Jehovah, hast made me glad through thy work; I will triumph in the works of thy hands. |
5 | Jehovah, how great are thy works! Thy thoughts are very deep: |
6 | A brutish man knoweth not, neither doth a fool understand it. |
7 | When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity flourish, it is that they may be destroyed for ever. |
8 | And thou, Jehovah, art on high for evermore. |
9 | For lo, thine enemies, O Jehovah, for lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered. |
10 | But my horn shalt thou exalt like a buffalo's: I shall be anointed with fresh oil. |
11 | And mine eye shall see [its desire] on mine enemies; mine ears shall hear [it] of the evil-doers that rise up against me. |
12 | The righteous shall shoot forth like a palm-tree; he shall grow like a cedar on Lebanon. |
13 | Those that are planted in the house of Jehovah shall flourish in the courts of our God: |
14 | They are still vigorous in old age, they are full of sap and green; |
15 | To shew that Jehovah is upright: [he is] my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him. |
