New International Version NIV
Young's Literal Translation YLT
1 It is good to praise the LORD and make music to your name, O Most High,
1
A Psalm. -- A Song for the sabbath-day. Good to give thanks to Jehovah, And to sing praises to Thy name, O Most High,
2 proclaiming your love in the morning and your faithfulness at night,
2
To declare in the morning Thy kindness, And Thy faithfulness in the nights.
3 to the music of the ten-stringed lyre and the melody of the harp.
3
On ten strings and on psaltery, On higgaion, with harp.
4 For you make me glad by your deeds, LORD; I sing for joy at what your hands have done.
4
For Thou hast caused me to rejoice, O Jehovah, in Thy work, Concerning the works of Thy hands I sing.
5 How great are your works, LORD, how profound your thoughts!
5
How great have been Thy works, O Jehovah, Very deep have been Thy thoughts.
6 Senseless people do not know, fools do not understand,
6
A brutish man doth not know, And a fool understandeth not this; --
7 that though the wicked spring up like grass and all evildoers flourish, they will be destroyed forever.
7
When the wicked flourish as a herb, And blossom do all workers of iniquity -- For their being destroyed for ever and ever!
8 But you, LORD, are forever exalted.
8
And Thou [art] high to the age, O Jehovah.
9 For surely your enemies, LORD, surely your enemies will perish; all evildoers will be scattered.
9
For, lo, Thine enemies, O Jehovah, For, lo, Thine enemies, do perish, Separate themselves do all workers of iniquity.
10 You have exalted my horn like that of a wild ox; fine oils have been poured on me.
10
And Thou exaltest as a reem my horn, I have been anointed with fresh oil.
11 My eyes have seen the defeat of my adversaries; my ears have heard the rout of my wicked foes.
11
And mine eye looketh on mine enemies, Of those rising up against me, The evil doers, do mine ears hear.
12 The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon;
12
The righteous as a palm-tree flourisheth, As a cedar in Lebanon he groweth.
13 planted in the house of the LORD, they will flourish in the courts of our God.
13
Those planted in the house of Jehovah, In the courts of our God do flourish.
14 They will still bear fruit in old age, they will stay fresh and green,
14
Still they bring forth in old age, Fat and flourishing are they,
15 proclaiming, “The LORD is upright; he is my Rock, and there is no wickedness in him.”
15
To declare that upright [is] Jehovah my rock, And there is no perverseness in Him!
