1 It is good to give thanks to the LORD, to make music to praise your name, O Most High.
1
A Psalm. A Song for the Sabbath day. It is good to give thanks to the Lord, And to sing praises to Your name, O Most High;
2 It is good to announce your mercy in the morning and your faithfulness in the evening
2
To declare Your lovingkindness in the morning, And Your faithfulness every night,
3 on a ten-stringed instrument and a harp and with a melody on a lyre.
3
On an instrument of ten strings, On the lute, And on the harp, With harmonious sound.
4 You made me find joy in what you have done, O LORD. I will sing joyfully about the works of your hands.
4
For You, Lord, have made me glad through Your work; I will triumph in the works of Your hands.
5 How spectacular are your works, O LORD! How very deep are your thoughts!
5
O Lord, how great are Your works! Your thoughts are very deep.
6 A stupid person cannot know and a fool cannot understand
6
A senseless man does not know, Nor does a fool understand this.
7 that wicked people sprout like grass and all troublemakers blossom [like flowers], only to be destroyed forever.
7
When the wicked spring up like grass, And when all the workers of iniquity flourish, It is that they may be destroyed forever.
8 But you, O LORD, are highly honored forever.
8
But You, Lord, are on high forevermore.
9 Now look at your enemies, O LORD. Now look at your enemies. They disappear, and all troublemakers are scattered.
9
For behold, Your enemies, O Lord, For behold, Your enemies shall perish; All the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
10 But you make me as strong as a wild bull, and soothing lotion is poured on me.
10
But my horn You have exalted like a wild ox; I have been anointed with fresh oil.
11 My eyes gloat over those who spy on me. My ears hear [the cries] of evildoers attacking me.
11
My eye also has seen my desire on my enemies; My ears hear my desire on the wicked Who rise up against me.
12 Righteous people flourish like palm trees and grow tall like the cedars in Lebanon.
12
The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree, He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13 They are planted in the LORD's house. They blossom in our God's courtyards.
13
Those who are planted in the house of the Lord Shall flourish in the courts of our God.
14 Even when they are old, they still bear fruit. They are always healthy and fresh.
14
They shall still bear fruit in old age; They shall be fresh and flourishing,
15 They make it known that the LORD is decent. He is my rock. He is never unfair.
15
To declare that the Lord is upright; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.
