1 A Psalm. A Song for the Sabbath. 2 \92:1\It is a good thing to give praise to the Lord, and to make melody to your name, O Most High;3 \92:2\To make clear your mercy in the morning, and your unchanging faith every night;4 \92:3\On a ten-corded instrument, and on an instrument of music with a quiet sound.5 \92:4\For you, O Lord, have made me glad through your work; I will have joy in the works of your hands.6 \92:5\O Lord, how great are your works! and your thoughts are very deep.7 \92:6\A man without sense has no knowledge of this; and a foolish man may not take it in.8 \92:7\When the sinners come up like the grass, and all the workers of evil do well for themselves, it is so that their end may be eternal destruction.9 \92:8\But you, O Lord, are on high for ever.10 \92:9\For see! your haters, O Lord, will be put to death; all the workers of evil will be put to flight;11 \92:10\But my horn is lifted up like the horn of the ox: the best oil is flowing on my head.12 \92:11\My eyes have seen trouble come on my haters; my ears have news of the fate of the evil-doers who have come up against me.13 \92:12\The good man will be like a tall tree in his strength; his growth will be as the wide-stretching trees of Lebanon.14 \92:13\Those who are planted in the house of the Lord will come up tall and strong in his gardens.15 \92:14\They will give fruit even when they are old; they will be fertile and full of growth;16 \92:15\For a sign that the Lord is upright; he is my Rock, there is no deceit in him.
1 [A Psalm, a Song, for the Sabbath day.] It is good to give thanks unto Jehovah, and to sing psalms unto thy name, O Most High;2 To declare thy loving-kindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness in the nights,3 Upon an instrument of ten strings and upon the lute; upon the Higgaion with the harp.4 For thou, Jehovah, hast made me glad through thy work; I will triumph in the works of thy hands.5 Jehovah, how great are thy works! Thy thoughts are very deep:6 A brutish man knoweth not, neither doth a fool understand it.7 When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity flourish, it is that they may be destroyed for ever.8 And thou, 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 shalt thou exalt like a buffalo's: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.11 And mine eye shall see {its desire} on mine enemies; mine ears shall hear {it} of the evil-doers that rise up against me.12 The righteous shall shoot forth like a palm-tree; he shall grow like a cedar on Lebanon.13 Those that are planted in the house of Jehovah shall flourish in the courts of our God:14 They are still vigorous in old age, they are full of sap and green;15 To shew that Jehovah is upright: {he is} my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
