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.

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.
