1It is good to give thanks to Yahweh, And to sing praises unto thy Name, O Most High;2To declare, in the morning, thy lovingkindness, And thy faithfulness at night;3Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon a harp, With resounding music on the lyre.4For thou hast made me glad, O Yahweh, in thy doing, In the works of thy hands, will I shout for joy.5How great have grown thy works, Yahweh, [How] very deep are laid thy plans!6A man that is brutish, cannot know, And, a dullard, cannot discern this:—7When the lawless do thrive like grass, And all the workers of iniquity have blossomed, It is that they may be destroyed for ever.8But, thou, shalt be on high age-abidingly, O Yahweh.9For lo! thine enemies, Yahweh, For lo! thine enemies, shall perish, They shall be scattered—all the workers of iniquity;10But thou wilt exalt, as [those of] the buffalo, my horn, I have been anointed, with fresh oil.11So hath mine eye descried them who were lying in wait for me,—Of my wicked assailants, mine ears, shall hear.12The righteous, like the palm-tree, shall thrive, Like the cedar in Lebanon, shall he grow;13They who are planted in the house of Yahweh, In the courts of our God, shall flourish;14Still shall they bear fruit in old age, Vigorous and fresh, shall they be:15To declare that upright is Yahweh, My Rock, and no perversity in him.
