| [1]A Psalm. -- A Song for the sabbath-day. Good to give thanks to Jehovah, And to sing praises to Thy name, O Most High, |
[1]It is a good thing to praise the Lord, and to sing unto thy name, O Most High, |
| [2]To declare in the morning Thy kindness, And Thy faithfulness in the nights. |
[2]To declare thy loving kindness in the morning, and thy truth in the night, |
| [3]On ten strings and on psaltery, On higgaion, with harp. |
[3]Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the viol with the song upon the harp. |
| [4]For Thou hast caused me to rejoice, O Jehovah, in Thy work, Concerning the works of Thy hands I sing. |
[4]For thou, Lord, hast made me glad by thy works, and I will rejoice in the works of thine hands. |
| [5]How great have been Thy works, O Jehovah, Very deep have been Thy thoughts. |
[5]O Lord, how glorious are thy works! And thy thoughts are very deep. |
| [6]A brutish man doth not know, And a fool understandeth not this; -- |
[6]An unwise man knoweth it not, and a fool doth not understand this, |
| [7]When the wicked flourish as a herb, And blossom do all workers of iniquity -- For their being destroyed for ever and ever! |
[7](When the wicked grow as the grass, and all the workers of wickedness do flourish) that they shall be destroyed forever. |
| [8]And Thou [art] high to the age, O Jehovah. |
[8]But thou, O Lord, art Most High forevermore. |
| [9]For, lo, Thine enemies, O Jehovah, For, lo, Thine enemies, do perish, Separate themselves do all workers of iniquity. |
[9]For lo, thine enemies, O Lord: for lo, thine enemies shall perish: all the workers of iniquity shall be destroyed. |
| [10]And Thou exaltest as a reem my horn, I have been anointed with fresh oil. |
[10]But thou shalt exalt mine horn, like the unicorns, and I shall be 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. |
[11]Mine eye also shall see my desire against mine enemies: and mine ears shall hear my wish against the wicked, that rise up against me. |
| [12]The righteous as a palm-tree flourisheth, As a cedar in Lebanon he groweth. |
[12]The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree, and shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. |
| [13]Those planted in the house of Jehovah, In the courts of our God do flourish. |
[13]Such as be planted in the house of the Lord, shall flourish in the courts of our God. |
| [14]Still they bring forth in old age, Fat and flourishing are they, |
[14]They shall still bring forth fruit in their age: they shall be fat and flourishing, |
| [15]To declare that upright [is] Jehovah my rock, And there is no perverseness in Him! |
[15]To declare that the Lord my rock is righteous, and that none iniquity is in him. |
