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
|
To declare in the morning Thy kindness, And Thy faithfulness in the nights. |
3
|
On ten strings and on psaltery, On higgaion, with harp. |
4
|
For Thou hast caused me to rejoice, O Jehovah, in Thy work, Concerning the works of Thy hands I sing. |
5
|
How great have been Thy works, O Jehovah, Very deep have been Thy thoughts. |
6
|
A brutish man doth not know, And a fool understandeth not this; -- |
7
|
When the wicked flourish as a herb, And blossom do all workers of iniquity—For their being destroyed for ever and ever! |
8
|
And Thou [art] high to the age, O Jehovah. |
9
|
For, lo, Thine enemies, O Jehovah, For, lo, Thine enemies, do perish, Separate themselves do all workers of iniquity. |
10
|
And Thou exaltest as a reem my horn, I have been anointed with fresh oil. |
11
|
And mine eye looketh on mine enemies, Of those rising up against me, The evil doers, do mine ears hear. |
12
|
The righteous as a palm-tree flourisheth, As a cedar in Lebanon he groweth. |
13
|
Those planted in the house of Jehovah, In the courts of our God do flourish. |
14
|
Still they bring forth in old age, Fat and flourishing are they, |
15
|
To declare that upright [is] Jehovah my rock, And there is no perverseness in Him! |
