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: 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!
