1 (A Psalm, a Song for the Sabbath day.) It is good to give thanks to the Lord, And to sing praises to Thy name, O Most High;

2 To declare Thy lovingkindness in the morning, And Thy faithfulness by night,

3 With the ten-stringed lute, and with the harp; With resounding music upon the lyre.

4 For Thou, O Lord, hast made me glad by what Thou hast done, I will sing for joy at the works of Thy hands.

5 How great are Thy works, O Lord! Thy thoughts are very deep.

6 A senseless man has no knowledge; Nor does a stupid man understand this:

7 That when the wicked sprouted up like grass, And all who did iniquity flourished, It [was only] that they might be destroyed forevermore.

8 But Thou, O Lord, art on high forever.

9 For, behold, Thine enemies, O Lord, For, behold, Thine enemies will perish; All who do iniquity will be scattered.

10 But Thou hast exalted my horn like [that of] the wild ox; I have been anointed with fresh oil.

11 And my eye has looked [exultantly] upon my foes, My ears hear of the evildoers who rise up against me.

12 The righteous man will flourish like the palm tree, He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

13 Planted in the house of the Lord, They will flourish in the courts of our God.

14 They will still yield fruit in old age; They shall be full of sap and very green,

15 To declare that the Lord is upright; [He is] my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.
