1A psalm. A song. For the Sabbath day. It is good to praise the LORD and make music to your name, O Most High,

1It is good to give thanks to the LORD and to sing praise to your name, Most High;

2proclaiming your love in the morning and your faithfulness at night,

2to proclaim your gracious love in the morning and your faithfulness at night,

3to the music of the ten-stringed lyre and the melody of the harp.

3accompanied by a ten-stringed instrument and a lyre, and the contemplative sound of a harp.

4For you make me glad by your deeds, LORD; I sing for joy at what your hands have done.

4Because you made me glad with your awesome deeds, LORD, I will sing for joy at the works of your hands.

5How great are your works, LORD, how profound your thoughts!

5How great are your works, LORD! Your thoughts are unfathomable.

6Senseless people do not know, fools do not understand,

6A stupid man doesn't know, and a fool can't comprehend this:

7that though the wicked spring up like grass and all evildoers flourish, they will 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 forever exalted.

8But you are exalted forever, LORD.

9For surely your enemies, LORD, surely your enemies will perish; all evildoers will be scattered.

9Look at your enemies, LORD! Look at your enemies, for they are destroyed; everyone who practices iniquity will be scattered.

10You have exalted my horn like that of a wild ox; fine oils have been poured on me.

10You've grown my strength like the horn of a wild ox; I was anointed with fresh oil.

11My eyes have seen the defeat of my adversaries; my ears have heard the rout of my wicked foes.

11My eyes gloated over those who lie in wait for me; when those of evil intent attack me, my ears will hear.

12The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon;

12The righteous will flourish like palm trees; they will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

13planted in the house of the LORD, they will flourish in the courts of our God.

13Planted in the LORD's Temple, they will flourish in the courtyard of our God.

14They will still bear fruit in old age, they will stay fresh and green,

14They will still bear fruit even in old age; they will be luxuriant and green.

15proclaiming, "The LORD is upright; he is my Rock, and there is no wickedness in him."

15They will proclaim: "The LORD is upright; my rock, in whom there is no injustice."
