Septuagint Bible w/ Apocrypha LXX
New International Version NIV
1 It is a good thing to give thanks to the Lord, and to sing praises to thy name, O thou Most High;
1
It is good to praise the LORD and make music to your name, O Most High,
2 to proclaim thy mercy in the morning, and thy truth by night,
2
proclaiming your love in the morning and your faithfulness at night,
3 on a psaltery of ten strings, with a song on the harp.
3
to the music of the ten-stringed lyre and the melody of the harp.
4 For thou, O Lord, hast made me glad with thy work: and in the operations of thy hands will I exult.
4
For you make me glad by your deeds, LORD; I sing for joy at what your hands have done.
5 How have thy works been magnified, O Lord! thy thoughts are very deep.
5
How great are your works, LORD, how profound your thoughts!
6 A foolish man will not know, and a senseless man will not understand this.
6
Senseless people do not know, fools do not understand,
7 When the sinners spring up as the grass, and all the workers of iniquity have watched; it is that they may be utterly destroyed for ever.
7
that though the wicked spring up like grass and all evildoers flourish, they will be destroyed forever.
8 But thou, O Lord, art most high for ever.
8
But you, LORD, are forever exalted.
9 For, behold, thine enemies shall perish; and all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
9
For surely your enemies, LORD, surely your enemies will perish; all evildoers will be scattered.
10 But my horn shall be exalted as the horn of a unicorn; and mine old age with rich mercy.
10
You have exalted my horn like that of a wild ox; fine oils have been poured on me.
11 And mine eye has seen mine enemies, and mine ear shall hear the wicked that rise up against me.
11
My eyes have seen the defeat of my adversaries; my ears have heard the rout of my wicked foes.
12 The righteous shall flourish as a palm-tree: he shall be increased as the cedar in Libanus.
12
The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon;
13 They that are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God.
13
planted in the house of the LORD, they will flourish in the courts of our God.
14 Then shall they be increased in a fine old age; and they shall be prosperous; that they may declare
14
They will still bear fruit in old age, they will stay fresh and green,
15 that the Lord my God is righteous, and there is no iniquity in him.
15
proclaiming, “The LORD is upright; he is my Rock, and there is no wickedness in him.”
