1 It is a good thing to give thanks to Yahweh,
to sing praises to your name, Most High,
2 to proclaim your loving kindness in the morning,
and your faithfulness every night,
3 with the ten-stringed lute, with the harp,
and with the melody of the lyre.
4 For you, Yahweh, have made me glad through your work.
I will triumph in the works of your hands.
5 How great are your works, Yahweh!
Your thoughts are very deep.
6 A senseless man doesn’t know,
neither does a fool understand this:
7 though the wicked spring up as the grass,
and all the evildoers flourish,
they will be destroyed forever.
8 But you, Yahweh, are on high forever more.
9 For behold, your enemies, Yahweh,
for behold, your enemies shall perish.
All the evildoers will be scattered.
10 But you have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox.
I am anointed with fresh oil.
11 My eye has also seen my enemies.
My ears have heard of the wicked enemies who rise up against me.
12 The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree.
He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13 They are planted in Yahweh’s house.
They will flourish in our God’s courts.
14 They will still produce fruit in old age.
They will be full of sap and green,
15 to show that Yahweh is upright.
He is my rock,
and there is no unrighteousness in him.
1 'n Psalm. 'n Lied vir die sabbatdag.
2 Dit is goed om die HERE te loof en tot eer van u Naam te psalmsing, o Allerhoogste,
3 om in die môre u goedertierenheid te verkondig en u getrouheid in die nagte;
4 by die tiensnarige instrument en by die harp, by snarespel op die siter.
5 Want U het my bly gemaak, HERE, deur u dade; ek jubel oor die werke van u hande.
6 Hoe groot is u werke, o HERE; baie diep is u gedagtes!
7 'n Dom mens weet nie, en 'n dwaas verstaan dit nie:
8 as die goddelose mense groei soos die plante en al die werkers van ongeregtigheid bloei, is dit om hulle vir ewig te verdelg.
9 Maar U is hoog verhewe tot in ewigheid, HERE!
10 Want kyk, u vyande, o HERE, want kyk, u vyande sal vergaan; al die werkers van ongeregtigheid sal verstrooi word.
11 Maar U verhoog my horing soos van 'n buffel; ek is met vars olie gesalf.
12 En my oog sien met welgevalle neer op die wat my voorlê, my ore hoor van die wat teen my as kwaaddoeners opstaan.
13 Die regverdige sal groei soos 'n palmboom; hy sal opgroei soos 'n seder op die L¡banon.
14 Geplant in die huis van die HERE, sal hulle groei in die voorhowe van onse God.
15 In die gryse ouderdom sal hulle nog vrugte dra, hulle sal vet en groen wees, [ (Psalms 92:16) om te verkondig dat die HERE reg is, my rots, en in Hom is geen onreg nie. ]
