A Psalm. A song for the Sabbath day. It is good to praise the LORD, and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High, |
|
2
|
to proclaim Your loving devotion in the morning and Your faithfulness at night |
|
3
|
with the ten-stringed harp and the melody of the lyre. |
|
4
|
For You, O LORD, have made me glad by Your deeds; I sing for joy at the works of Your hands. |
|
5
|
How great are Your works, O LORD, how deep are Your thoughts! |
|
6
|
A senseless man does not know, and a fool does not understand, |
|
7
|
that though the wicked sprout 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
|
But You have exalted my horn like that of a wild ox; with fine oil I have been anointed. |
|
11
|
My eyes see the downfall of my enemies; my ears hear the wailing of my wicked foes. |
|
12
|
The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, and grow like a cedar in Lebanon. |
|
13
|
Planted in the house of the LORD, they will flourish in the courts of our God. |
|
14
|
In old age they will still bear fruit; healthy and green they will remain, |
|
15
|
to proclaim, “The LORD is upright; He is my Rock, and in Him there is no unrighteousness.” |
