1 - ?A psalm. A song. For the Sabbath day.?
It is good to praise the Lord and make music to your name, O Most High,
2 - proclaiming your love in the morning and your faithfulness at night,
3 - to the music of the ten-stringed lyre and the melody of the harp.
4 - For you make me glad by your deeds, Lord; I sing for joy at what your hands have done.
5 - How great are your works, Lord, how profound your thoughts!
6 - Senseless people do not know, fools do not understand,
7 - that though the wicked spring up like grass and all evildoers flourish, they will be destroyed forever.
8 - But you, Lord, are forever exalted.
9 - For surely your enemies, Lord, surely your enemies will perish; all evildoers will be scattered.
10 - You have exalted my horn
11 - My eyes have seen the defeat of my adversaries; my ears have heard the rout of my wicked foes.
12 - The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon;
13 - planted in the house of the Lord, they will flourish in the courts of our God.
14 - They will still bear fruit in old age, they will stay fresh and green,
15 - proclaiming, "The Lord is upright; he is my Rock, and there is no wickedness in him."
