| 1It is good to give thanks to the LORD and to sing praise to your name, Most High; | 1A Psalm or Song for the sabbath day. It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High: |
| 2to proclaim your gracious love in the morning and your faithfulness at night, | 2To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night, |
| 3accompanied by a ten-stringed instrument and a lyre, and the contemplative sound of a harp. | 3Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound. |
| 4Because you made me glad with your awesome deeds, LORD, I will sing for joy at the works of your hands. | 4For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands. |
| 5How great are your works, LORD! Your thoughts are unfathomable. | 5O LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep. |
| 6A stupid man doesn't know, and a fool can't comprehend this: | 6A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this. |
| 7Though the wicked sprout like grass; and all who practice iniquity flourish, it is they who will be eternally destroyed. | 7When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever: |
| 8But you are exalted forever, LORD. | 8But thou, LORD, art most high for evermore. |
| 9Look at your enemies, LORD! Look at your enemies, for they are destroyed; everyone who practices iniquity will be scattered. | 9For, lo, thine enemies, O LORD, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered. |
| 10You've grown my strength like the horn of a wild ox; I was anointed with fresh oil. | 10But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be 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. | 11Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies, and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me. |
| 12The righteous will flourish like palm trees; they will grow like a cedar in Lebanon. | 12The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. |
| 13Planted in the LORD's Temple, they will flourish in the courtyard of our God. | 13Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God. |
| 14They will still bear fruit even in old age; they will be luxuriant and green. | 14They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing; |
| 15They will proclaim: "The LORD is upright; my rock, in whom there is no injustice." | 15To shew that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him. |
