| 1It is good to give thanks to the LORD and to sing praise to your name, Most High; | 1A Psalm, a Song for the Sabbath day. It is good to give thanks to the LORD And to sing praises to Your name, O Most High; |
| 2to proclaim your gracious love in the morning and your faithfulness at night, | 2To declare Your lovingkindness in the morning And Your faithfulness by night, |
| 3accompanied by a ten-stringed instrument and a lyre, and the contemplative sound of a harp. | 3With the ten-stringed lute and with the harp, With resounding music upon the lyre. |
| 4Because you made me glad with your awesome deeds, LORD, I will sing for joy at the works of your hands. | 4For You, O LORD, have made me glad by what You have done, I will sing for joy at the works of Your hands. |
| 5How great are your works, LORD! Your thoughts are unfathomable. | 5How great are Your works, O LORD! Your thoughts are very deep. |
| 6A stupid man doesn't know, and a fool can't comprehend this: | 6A senseless man has no knowledge, Nor does a stupid man understand this: |
| 7Though the wicked sprout like grass; and all who practice iniquity flourish, it is they who will be eternally destroyed. | 7That when the wicked sprouted up like grass And all who did iniquity flourished, It was only that they might be destroyed forevermore. |
| 8But you are exalted forever, LORD. | 8But You, O LORD, are on high forever. |
| 9Look at your enemies, LORD! Look at your enemies, for they are destroyed; everyone who practices iniquity will be scattered. | 9For, behold, Your enemies, O LORD, For, behold, Your enemies will perish; All who do iniquity will be scattered. |
| 10You've grown my strength like the horn of a wild ox; I was anointed with fresh oil. | 10But You have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox; I have been anointed with fresh oil. |
| 11My eyes gloated over those who lie in wait for me; when those of evil intent attack me, my ears will hear. | 11And my eye has looked exultantly upon my foes, My ears hear of the evildoers who rise up against me. |
| 12The righteous will flourish like palm trees; they will grow like a cedar in Lebanon. | 12The righteous man will flourish like the palm tree, He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon. |
| 13Planted in the LORD's Temple, they will flourish in the courtyard of our God. | 13Planted in the house of the LORD, They will flourish in the courts of our God. |
| 14They will still bear fruit even in old age; they will be luxuriant and green. | 14They will still yield fruit in old age; They shall be full of sap and very green, |
| 15They will proclaim: "The LORD is upright; my rock, in whom there is no injustice." | 15To declare that the LORD is upright; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him. |
