It is a good thing to give thanks to Yahweh, to sing praises to your name, Most High,
|
| 2 |
to proclaim your loving kindness in the morning, and your faithfulness every night,
|
| 3 |
with the ten-stringed lute, with the harp, and with the melody of the lyre.
|
| 4 |
For you, Yahweh, have made me glad through your work. I will triumph in the works of your hands.
|
| 5 |
How great are your works, Yahweh! Your thoughts are very deep.
|
| 6 |
A senseless man doesn’t know, neither does a fool understand this:
|
| 7 |
though the wicked spring up as the grass, and all the evildoers flourish, they will be destroyed forever.
|
| 8 |
But you, Yahweh, are on high forever more.
|
| 9 |
For behold, your enemies, Yahweh, for behold, your enemies shall perish. All the evildoers will be scattered.
|
| 10 |
But you have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox. I am anointed with fresh oil.
|
| 11 |
My eye has also seen my enemies. My ears have heard of the wicked enemies who rise up against me.
|
| 12 |
The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree. He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
|
| 13 |
They are planted in Yahweh’s house. They will flourish in our God’s courts.
|
| 14 |
They will still produce fruit in old age. They will be full of sap and green,
|
| 15 |
to show that Yahweh is upright. He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
