- A Psalm.
— A Song for the sabbath-day.
Good to give thanks to Jehovah, And to sing praises to Thy name, O Most High,
- 2
- To declare in the morning Thy kindness, And Thy faithfulness in the nights.
- 3
- On ten strings and on psaltery, On higgaion, with harp.
- 4
- For Thou hast caused me to rejoice, O Jehovah, in Thy work, Concerning the works of Thy hands I sing.
- 5
- How great have been Thy works, O Jehovah, Very deep have been Thy thoughts.
- 6
- A brutish man doth not know, And a fool understandeth not this;
—
- 7
- When the wicked flourish as a herb, And blossom do all workers of iniquity — For their being destroyed for ever and ever!
- 8
- And Thou [art] high to the age, O Jehovah.
- 9
- For, lo, Thine enemies, O Jehovah, For, lo, Thine enemies, do perish, Separate themselves do all workers of iniquity.
- 10
- And Thou exaltest as a reem my horn, I have been anointed with fresh oil.
- 11
- And mine eye looketh on mine enemies, Of those rising up against me, The evil doers, do mine ears hear.
- 12
- The righteous as a palm-tree flourisheth, As a cedar in Lebanon he groweth.
- 13
- Those planted in the house of Jehovah, In the courts of our God do flourish.
- 14
- Still they bring forth in old age, Fat and flourishing are they,
- 15
- To declare that upright [is] Jehovah my rock, And there is no perverseness in Him!
