1
It is good to give thanks to the Lord, to sing praises to your name, O Most High;
2 (91-3) To shew forth thy mercy in the morning, and thy truth in the night:
2
to declare your steadfast love in the morning, and your faithfulness by night,
3 (91-4) Upon an instrument of ten strings, upon the psaltery: with a canticle upon the harp.
3
to the music of the lute and the harp, to the melody of the lyre.
4 (91-5) For thou hast given me, O Lord, a delight in thy doings: and in the works of thy hands I shall rejoice.
4
For you, O Lord, have made me glad by your work; at the works of your hands I sing for joy.
5 (91-6) O Lord, how great are thy works! thy thoughts are exceeding deep.
5
How great are your works, O Lord! Your thoughts are very deep!
6 (91-7) The senseless man shall not know: nor will the fool understand these things.
6
The dullard cannot know, the stupid cannot understand this:
7 (91-8) When the wicked shall spring up as grass: and all the workers of iniquity shall appear: That they may perish for ever and ever:
7
though the wicked sprout like grass and all evildoers flourish, they are doomed to destruction forever,
8 (91-9) But thou, O Lord, art most high for evermore.
8
but you, O Lord, are on high forever.
9 (91-10) For behold thy enemies, O lord, for behold thy enemies shall perish: and all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
9
For your enemies, O Lord, for your enemies shall perish; all evildoers shall be scattered.
10 (91-11) But my horn shall be exalted like that of the unicorn: and my old age in plentiful mercy.
10
But you have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox; you have poured over me fresh oil.
11 (91-12) My eye also hath looked down upon my enemies: and my ear shall hear of the downfall of the malignant that rise up against me.
11
My eyes have seen the downfall of my enemies; my ears have heard the doom of my evil assailants.
12 (91-13) The just shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow up like the cedar of Libanus.
12
The righteous flourish like the palm tree, and grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13 (91-14) They that are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of the house of our God.
13
They are planted in the house of the Lord; they flourish in the courts of our God.
14 (91-15) They shall still increase in a fruitful old age: and shall be well treated,
14
In old age they still produce fruit; they are always green and full of sap,
15 (91-16) That they may shew, That the Lord our God is righteous, and there is no iniquity in him.
15
showing that the Lord is upright; he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
