A Psalm. A song for the Sabbath day.
1It is a good thing to give thanks to the Lord,
to sing praises to Your name, Most High,
2to proclaim Your loving kindness in the morning,
and Your faithfulness every night,
3with the ten-stringed lute, with the harp,
and with the melody of the lyre.
4For You, Lord, have made me glad through Your work.
I will triumph in the works of Your hands.
5How great are Your works, Lord!
Your thoughts are very deep.
6A senseless man doesn’t know,
neither does a fool understand this:
7though the wicked spring up as the grass,
and all the evildoers flourish,
they will be destroyed forever.
8But You, Lord, are on high forever more.
9For behold, Your enemies, Lord,
for behold, Your enemies shall perish.
All the evildoers will be scattered.
10But You have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox.
I am anointed with fresh oil.
11My eye has also seen my enemies.
My ears have heard of the wicked enemies who rise up against me.
12The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree.
He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13They are planted in the Lord’s house.
They will flourish in our God’s courts.
14They will still produce fruit in old age.
They will be full of sap and green,
15to show that the Lord is upright.
He is my rock,
and there is no unrighteousness in Him.
1Psalmus cantici, in die sabbati.
2Bonum est confiteri Domino, et psallere nomini tuo, Altissime: 3ad annuntiandum mane misericordiam tuam, et veritatem tuam per noctem, 4in decachordo, psalterio; cum cantico, in cithara. 5Quia delectasti me, Domine, in factura tua; et in operibus manuum tuarum exsultabo. 6Quam magnificata sunt opera tua, Domine! nimis profundæ factæ sunt cogitationes tuæ. 7Vir insipiens non cognoscet, et stultus non intelliget hæc. 8Cum exorti fuerint peccatores sicut fœnum, et apparuerint omnes qui operantur iniquitatem, ut intereant in sæculum sæculi: 9tu autem Altissimus in æternum, Domine. 10Quoniam ecce inimici tui, Domine, quoniam ecce inimici tui peribunt; et dispergentur omnes qui operantur iniquitatem. 11Et exaltabitur sicut unicornis cornu meum, et senectus mea in misericordia uberi. 12Et despexit oculus meus inimicos meos, et in insurgentibus in me malignantibus audiet auris mea. 13Justus ut palma florebit; sicut cedrus Libani multiplicabitur. 14Plantati in domo Domini, in atriis domus Dei nostri florebunt. 15Adhuc multiplicabuntur in senecta uberi, et bene patientes erunt: 16ut annuntient quoniam rectus Dominus Deus noster, et non est iniquitas in eo.
