A Psalm. -- A Song for the sabbath-day. Good to give thanks to Jehovah, And to sing praises to Thy name, O Most High,
`Give ye thanks to Jehovah, For good, for to the age `is' His kindness:'
They confess to Jehovah His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men.
Praise ye Jah! for Jehovah `is' good, Sing praise to His name, for `it is' pleasant.
Praise ye Jah! For `it is' good to praise our God, For pleasant -- comely `is' praise.
Sing, ye righteous, in Jehovah, For upright ones praise `is' comely.
He who is sacrificing praise honoureth Me, As to him who maketh a way, I cause him to look on the salvation of God!
I thank Thee to the age, because Thou hast done `it', And I wait `on' Thy name for `it is' good before Thy saints!
With a free will-offering I sacrifice to Thee, I thank Thy name, O Jehovah, for `it is' good,
And I -- nearness of God to me `is' good, I have placed in the Lord Jehovah my refuge, To recount all Thy works!
I -- I have said, `Gods ye `are', And sons of the Most High -- all of you,
And Thou `art' high to the age, O Jehovah.
For thus said the high and exalted One, Inhabiting eternity, and holy `is' His name: `In the high and holy place I dwell, And with the bruised and humble of spirit, To revive the spirit of the humble, And to revive the heart of bruised ones,'
thou, O king, God Most High, a kingdom, and greatness, and glory, and honour, gave to Nebuchadnezzar thy father:
speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord,
through him, then, we may offer up a sacrifice of praise always to God, that is, the fruit of lips, giving thanks to His name;
there doth remain, then, a sabbatic rest to the people of God,
