New King James Version | International Standard Version |
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; | 1It is good to give thanks to the LORD and to sing praise to your name, Most High; |
2To declare Your lovingkindness in the morning, And Your faithfulness every night, | 2to proclaim your gracious love in the morning and your faithfulness at night, |
3On an instrument of ten strings, On the lute, And on the harp, With harmonious sound. | 3accompanied by a ten-stringed instrument and a lyre, and the contemplative sound of a harp. |
4For You, LORD, have made me glad through Your work; I will triumph in the works of Your hands. | 4Because you made me glad with your awesome deeds, LORD, I will sing for joy at the works of your hands. |
5O LORD, how great are Your works! Your thoughts are very deep. | 5How great are your works, LORD! Your thoughts are unfathomable. |
6A senseless man does not know, Nor does a fool understand this. | 6A stupid man doesn't know, and a fool can't comprehend this: |
7When the wicked spring up like grass, And when all the workers of iniquity flourish, It is that they may be destroyed forever. | 7Though the wicked sprout like grass; and all who practice iniquity flourish, it is they who will be eternally destroyed. |
8But You, LORD, are on high forevermore. | 8But you are exalted forever, LORD. |
9For behold, Your enemies, O LORD, For behold, Your enemies shall perish; All the workers of iniquity shall be scattered. | 9Look at your enemies, LORD! Look at your enemies, for they are destroyed; everyone who practices iniquity will be scattered. |
10But my horn You have exalted like a wild ox; I have been anointed with fresh oil. | 10You've grown my strength like the horn of a wild ox; I was anointed with fresh oil. |
11My eye also has seen my desire on my enemies; My ears hear my desire on the wicked Who rise up against me. | 11My eyes gloated over those who lie in wait for me; when those of evil intent attack me, my ears will hear. |
12The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree, He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. | 12The righteous will flourish like palm trees; they will grow like a cedar in Lebanon. |
13Those who are planted in the house of the LORD Shall flourish in the courts of our God. | 13Planted in the LORD's Temple, they will flourish in the courtyard of our God. |
14They shall still bear fruit in old age; They shall be fresh and flourishing, | 14They will still bear fruit even in old age; they will be luxuriant and green. |
15To declare that the LORD is upright; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him. | 15They will proclaim: "The LORD is upright; my rock, in whom there is no injustice." |
