1.
A psalm. A song. For the Sabbath day. It is good to praise the LORD and make music to your name, O Most High,
|
|
2.
to proclaim your love in the morning and your faithfulness at night,
|
|
3.
to the music of the ten-stringed lyre and the melody of the harp.
|
|
4.
For you make me glad by your deeds, O LORD; I sing for joy at the works of your hands.
|
|
5.
How great are your works, O LORD, how profound your thoughts!
|
|
6.
The senseless man does not know, fools do not understand,
|
|
7.
that though the wicked spring up like grass and all evildoers flourish, they will be forever destroyed.
|
|
8.
But you, O LORD, are exalted forever.
|
|
9.
For surely your enemies, O LORD, surely your enemies will perish; all evildoers will be scattered.
|
|
10.
You have exalted my horn like that of a wild ox; fine oils have been poured upon me.
|
|
11.
My eyes have seen the defeat of my adversaries; my ears have heard the rout of my wicked foes.
|
|
12.
The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon;
|
|
13.
planted in the house of the LORD, they will flourish in the courts of our God.
|
|
14.
They will still bear fruit in old age, they will stay fresh and green,
|
|
15.
proclaiming, "The LORD is upright; he is my Rock, and there is no wickedness in him."
