A Psalm, a Song for the sabbath day.

1 It is a good thing to give thanks unto Jehovah,

And to sing praises unto thy name, O Most High;

2 To show forth thy lovingkindness in the morning,

And thy faithfulness every night,

3 With an instrument of ten strings, and with the psaltery;

With a solemn sound upon the harp.

4 For thou, Jehovah, hast made me glad through thy work:

I will triumph in the works of thy hands.

5 How great are thy works, O Jehovah!

Thy thoughts are very deep.

6 A brutish man knoweth not;

Neither doth a fool understand this:

7 When the wicked spring as the grass,

And when all the workers of iniquity do flourish;

It is that they shall be destroyed for ever.

8 But thou, O 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 hast thou exalted like the horn of the wild-ox:

I am anointed with fresh oil.

11 Mine eye also hath seen my desire on mine enemies,

Mine ears have heard my desire of the evil-doers that rise up against me.

12 The righteous shall flourish like the palm-tree:

He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

13 They are planted in the house of Jehovah;

They shall flourish in the courts of our God.

14 They shall still bring forth fruit in old age;

They shall be full of sap and green:

15 To show that Jehovah is upright;

He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

诗一首，安息日的歌。 1 称谢耶和华，

歌颂你至高者的名；

2 早晨传扬你的慈爱，

夜间传讲你的信实；

3 弹奏十弦的乐器和瑟，

又用琴弹出美妙的声音，

这是多么美的事*"这是多么美的事"原文是在第1节；第1至第3节是一个整体。

4 耶和华啊！你借着你的作为使我欢喜，

我要因你手的工作欢呼。

5 耶和华啊！你的工作多么伟大，

你的心思极为深奥。

6 无理性的人不晓得，

愚昧的人不明白这事：

7 恶人虽好象草一样繁茂，

所有作孽的人虽然兴旺，

他们都要永远灭亡。

8 但你耶和华永远是至高的。

9 耶和华啊！你的仇敌必灭亡，

你的仇敌必定灭亡；

所有作孽的都必被分散。

10 你却高举了我的角，像野牛的角；

你用新油膏抹我。

11 我亲眼看见那些窥伺我的人遭报，

我亲耳听见那些起来攻击我的恶人受罚。

12 义人必像棕树一样繁茂，

像黎巴嫩的香柏树一样高耸。

13 他们栽在耶和华的殿中，

在我们　神的院子里繁茂生长。

14 他们年老的时候仍要结果子，

经常保持茂盛青翠，

15 好显明耶和华是正直的；

他是我的盘石，在他里面没有不义。
