The Scriptures (ISR 1998) 1It is good to give thanks to יהוה, And to sing praises to Your Name, O Most High; 2To declare Your kindness in the morning, And Your trustworthiness each night, 3On ten strings, and on the harp, To the sounding chords of the lyre. 4For You have made me rejoice with Your work, O יהוה, I shout for joy at the works of Your hands. 5O יהוה, how great are Your works! Your thoughts are very deep! 6A senseless man does not know, And a fool does not understand this. 7When the wrong spring up like grass, And all the workers of wickedness blossom, It is for them to be destroyed forever. 8But You, יהוה, are on high forever. 9For look, Your enemies, O יהוה, For look, Your enemies do perish; All the workers of wickedness are scattered. 10But You lift up my horn like a wild ox; I have been anointed with fresh oil. 11And my eye looks upon my enemies; My ears hear the evil-doers Who rise up against me. 12The righteous one flourishes like a palm tree, He grows like a cedar in Leḇanon. 13Those who are planted in the House of יהוה Flourish in the courts of our Elohim. 14They still bear fruit in old age; They are fresh and green, 15To declare that יהוה is straight, My rock, and in Him is no unrighteousness. |
