1 It is good to give thanks to יהוה, And to sing praises to Your Name, O Most High; 2 To declare Your loving-commitment in the morning, And Your trustworthiness each night, 3 On ten strings, and on the harp, To the sounding chords of the lyre. 4 For You have made me rejoice with Your work, O יהוה, I shout for joy at the works of Your hands. 5 O יהוה, how great are Your works! Your thoughts are very deep! 6 A senseless man does not know, And a fool does not understand this. 7 When the wrong spring up like grass, And all the workers of wickedness blossom, It is for them to be destroyed forever. 8 But You, יהוה, are on high forever. 9 For look, Your enemies, O יהוה, For look, Your enemies do perish; All the workers of wickedness are scattered. 10 But You lift up my horn like a wild ox; I have been anointed with fresh oil. 11 And my eye looks upon my enemies; My ears hear the evil-doers Who rise up against me. 12 The righteous one flourishes like a palm tree, He grows like a cedar in Leḇanon. 13 Those who are planted in the House of יהוה Flourish in the courts of our Elohim. 14 They still bear fruit in old age; They are fresh and green, 15 To declare that יהוה is straight, My rock, and in Him is no unrighteousness. |
