1A Psalm. A song for the Sabbath day.
2It is a good thing to give thanks to the LORD, to sing praises to your name, Most High,
3to proclaim your loving kindness in the morning, and your faithfulness every night,
4with the ten-stringed lute, with the harp, and with the melody of the lyre.
5For you, LORD, have made me glad through your work. I will triumph in the works of your hands.
6How great are your works, LORD! Your thoughts are very deep.
7A senseless man doesn't know, neither does a fool understand this:
8though the wicked spring up as the grass, and all the evildoers flourish, they will be destroyed forever.
9But you, LORD, are on high forever more.
10For behold, your enemies, LORD, for behold, your enemies shall perish. All the evildoers will be scattered.
11But you have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox. I am anointed with fresh oil.
12My eye has also seen my enemies. My ears have heard of the wicked enemies who rise up against me.
13The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree. He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
14They are planted in the LORD's house. They will flourish in our God's courts.
15They will still produce fruit in old age. They will be full of sap and green,
16to show that the LORD is upright. He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
