Young's Literal Translation YLT
1 It is good to give thanks to the LORD, to sing praises to the 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 It is good to proclaim your unfailing love in the morning, your faithfulness in the evening,
2
To declare in the morning Thy kindness, And Thy faithfulness in the nights.
3 accompanied by a ten-stringed instrument, a harp, and the melody of a lyre.
3
On ten strings and on psaltery, On higgaion, with harp.
4 You thrill me, LORD, with all you have done for me! I sing for joy because of what you have done.
4
For Thou hast caused me to rejoice, O Jehovah, in Thy work, Concerning the works of Thy hands I sing.
5 O LORD, what great works you do! And how deep are your thoughts.
5
How great have been Thy works, O Jehovah, Very deep have been Thy thoughts.
6 Only a simpleton would not know, and only a fool would not understand this:
6
A brutish man doth not know, And a fool understandeth not this; --
7 Though the wicked sprout like weeds and 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, O LORD, will be exalted forever.
8
And Thou [art] high to the age, O Jehovah.
9 Your enemies, LORD, will surely 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 But you have made me as strong as a wild ox. You have anointed me with the finest oil.
10
And Thou exaltest as a reem my horn, I have been anointed with fresh oil.
11 My eyes have seen the downfall of my enemies; my ears have heard the defeat of my wicked opponents.
11
And mine eye looketh on mine enemies, Of those rising up against me, The evil doers, do mine ears hear.
12 But the godly will flourish like palm trees and grow strong like the cedars of Lebanon.
12
The righteous as a palm-tree flourisheth, As a cedar in Lebanon he groweth.
13 For they are transplanted to the LORD ’s own house. They flourish in the courts of our God.
13
Those planted in the house of Jehovah, In the courts of our God do flourish.
14 Even in old age they will still produce fruit; they will remain vital and green.
14
Still they bring forth in old age, Fat and flourishing are they,
15 They will declare, “The LORD is just! He is my rock! There is no evil in him!”
15
To declare that upright [is] Jehovah my rock, And there is no perverseness in Him!
