0A psalm. A song. For the Sabbath day.
1It is good to give thanks to Yahweh, and to sing praises to your name, O Most High,
2to declare your loyal love in the morning, and your faithfulness by night,
3upon the ten-stringed instrument and upon the harp, to the melody of the lyre.
4For you have made me glad, Yahweh, by your work; at the works of your hands I sing for joy.
5How great are your works, Yahweh! Very deep are your thoughts!
6A brutish man does not know, and a fool does not understand this:
7when the wicked spring up like grass and all the doers of iniquity flourish, it is only that they may be destroyed forever.
8But you are on high forever, Yahweh.
9For behold, your enemies, Yahweh — for behold, your enemies shall perish; all the doers of iniquity shall be scattered.
10But you have exalted my horn like that of a wild ox; I am anointed with fresh oil.
11My eye has looked upon those who watch against me; my ears hear of the evildoers who rise up against me.
12The righteous one flourishes like the palm tree; he grows tall like a cedar in Lebanon.
13Planted in the house of Yahweh, they flourish in the courts of our God.
14They still bear fruit in old age; they are full of sap and green,
15to declare that Yahweh is upright; he is my Rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
