Praise for the Lord’s Goodness.
A Psalm, a Song for the Sabbath day.
And to sing praises to Your name, Most High;
2 To declare Your goodness in the morning
And Your faithfulness by [a]night,
3 [b]With the ten-stringed lute and [c]with the harp,
[d]With resounding music on the lyre.
4 For You, Lord, have made me joyful by [e]what You have done,
I will sing for joy over the works of Your hands.
Your [f]thoughts are very deep.
6 A stupid person has no knowledge,
Nor does a foolish person understand this:
7 When the wicked sprouted up like grass
And all who did injustice flourished,
It was only that they might be destroyed forevermore.
8 But You, Lord, are on high forever.
9 For, behold, Your enemies, Lord,
For, behold, Your enemies will perish;
All who do injustice will be scattered.
I have [g]been anointed with fresh oil.
11 And my eye has looked at my enemies,
My ears hear of the evildoers who rise up against me.
12 The righteous person will [h]flourish like the palm tree,
He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13 Planted in the house of the Lord,
They will flourish in the courtyards of our God.
14 They will still [i]yield fruit in advanced age;
They will be [j]full of sap and very green,
15 To [k]declare that the Lord is just;
He is my rock, and there is no malice in Him.
