Holman Christian Standard Bible CSB
English Standard Version ESV
1 It is good to praise the Lord, to sing praise to Your name, Most High,
1
It is good to give thanks to the Lord, to sing praises to your name, O Most High;
2 to declare Your faithful love in the morning and Your faithfulness at night,
2
to declare your steadfast love in the morning, and your faithfulness by night,
3 with a ten-stringed harp and the music of a lyre.
3
to the music of the lute and the harp, to the melody of the lyre.
4 For You have made me rejoice, Lord, by what You have done; I will shout for joy because of the works of Your hands.
4
For you, O Lord, have made me glad by your work; at the works of your hands I sing for joy.
5 How magnificent are Your works, Lord, how profound Your thoughts!
5
How great are your works, O Lord! Your thoughts are very deep!
6 A stupid person does not know, a fool does not understand this:
6
The stupid man cannot know; the fool cannot understand this:
7 though the wicked sprout like grass and all evildoers flourish, they will be eternally destroyed.
7
that though the wicked sprout like grass and all evildoers flourish, they are doomed to destruction forever;
8 But You, Lord, are exalted forever.
8
but you, O Lord, are on high forever.
9 For indeed, Lord, Your enemies- indeed, Your enemies will perish; all evildoers will be scattered.
9
For behold, your enemies, O Lord, for behold, your enemies shall perish; all evildoers shall be scattered.
10 You have lifted up my horn like that of a wild ox; I have been anointed with oil.
10
But you have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox; you have poured over me fresh oil.
11 My eyes look down on my enemies; my ears hear evildoers when they attack me.
11
My eyes have seen the downfall of my enemies; my ears have heard the doom of my evil assailants.
12 The righteous thrive like a palm tree and grow like a cedar tree in Lebanon.
12
The righteous flourish like the palm tree and grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13 Planted in the house of the Lord, they thrive in the courtyards of our God.
13
They are planted in the house of the Lord; they flourish in the courts of our God.
14 They will still bear fruit in old age, healthy and green,
14
They still bear fruit in old age; they are ever full of sap and green,
15 to declare: "The Lord is just; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him."
15
to declare that the Lord is upright; he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
