How Great Are Your Works, O Yahweh 1It is good to give thanks to Yahweh And to sing praises to Your name, O Most High; 2To declare Your lovingkindness in the morning And Your faithfulness [†]by night, 3[†]With the ten-stringed lute and with the harp, [†]With resounding music [†]upon the lyre. 4For You, O Yahweh, 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, O Yahweh! Your [†]thoughts are very deep. 6A senseless man does not know, And a fool does not understand this: 7That when the wicked flourished like grass And all the workers of iniquity blossomed, It was only that they might be destroyed forevermore. 8But You are on high forever, O Yahweh. 9For, behold, Your enemies, O Yahweh, For, behold, Your enemies will perish; All the workers of iniquity will be scattered. 10But You have raised up my horn like that of the wild ox; I have [†]been anointed with fresh oil. 11And my eye has looked exultantly upon [†]my foes, My ears hear of the evildoers who rise up against me. 12The righteous man will [†]flourish like the palm tree, He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon. 13Planted in the house of Yahweh, They will flourish in the courts of our God. 14They will still [†]yield fruit in old age; They shall be [†]rich and fresh, 15To [†]declare that Yahweh is upright; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him. 2 Lit nights 3 Lit Upon 3 Lit Upon 3 Lit by means of 4 Lit Your working 5 Or purposes 10 Or become moist 11 Or those who lie in wait for me 12 Lit sprout 14 Or thrive in 14 Lit fat 15 Or show forth Legacy Standard Bible Copyright ©2021 by The Lockman Foundation All rights reserved.
