| [1]It is a good thing to give thanks to the Lord, and to sing praises to thy name, O thou Most High; |
[1]It is a good thing to give thank to the LORD, and to sing praises to thy name, O Most High, |
| [2]to proclaim thy mercy in the morning, and thy truth by night, |
[2]To show forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night. |
| [3]on a psaltery of ten strings, with a song on the harp. |
[3]I will play upon an instrument of ten strings and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound. |
| [4]For thou, O Lord, hast made me glad with thy work: and in the operations of thy hands will I exult. |
[4]For thou, O LORD, hast made me glad through thy work; I will triumph in the works of thy hands. |
| [5]How have thy works been magnified, O Lord! thy thoughts are very deep. |
[5]O LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep. |
| [6]A foolish man will not know, and a senseless man will not understand this. |
[6]A stupid man knows not; neither does a fool understand this. |
| [7]When the sinners spring up as the grass, and all the workers of iniquity have watched; it is that they may be utterly destroyed for ever. |
[7]When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever; |
| [8]But thou, O Lord, art most high for ever. |
[8]But thou, LORD, art most high for evermore. |
| [9]For, behold, thine enemies shall perish; and all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered. |
[9]For, lo, thine enemies, O LORD, for lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered. |
| [10] But my horn shall be exalted as the horn of a unicorn; and mine old age with rich mercy. |
[10]But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of a wild ox; I shall be anointed with fragrant oil. |
| [11]And mine eye has seen mine enemies, and mine ear shall hear the wicked that rise up against me. |
[11]Mine eyes also shall see my desire on mine enemies, and mine ears shall hear my desire against the wicked that rise up against me. |
| [12]The righteous shall flourish as a palm-tree: he shall be increased as the cedar in Libanus. |
[12]The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree; he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. |
| [13]They that are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God. |
[13]Those that are planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God. |
| [14]Then shall they be increased in a fine old age; and they shall be prosperous; that they may declare |
[14]They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fair and desirable, |
| [15]that the Lord my God is righteous, and there is no iniquity in him. |
[15]To show that the LORD is upright; he is mighty, and there is no unrighteousness in him. |
