| 1A psalm. A song. For the Sabbath day. It is good to praise the LORD and make music to your name, O Most High, | 1A Psalm or Song for the sabbath day. It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High: |
| 2proclaiming your love in the morning and your faithfulness at night, | 2To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night, |
| 3to the music of the ten-stringed lyre and the melody of the harp. | 3Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound. |
| 4For you make me glad by your deeds, LORD; I sing for joy at what your hands have done. | 4For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands. |
| 5How great are your works, LORD, how profound your thoughts! | 5O LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep. |
| 6Senseless people do not know, fools do not understand, | 6A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this. |
| 7that though the wicked spring up like grass and all evildoers flourish, they will be destroyed forever. | 7When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever: |
| 8But you, LORD, are forever exalted. | 8But thou, LORD, art most high for evermore. |
| 9For surely your enemies, LORD, surely your enemies will perish; all evildoers will be scattered. | 9For, lo, thine enemies, O LORD, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered. |
| 10You have exalted my horn like that of a wild ox; fine oils have been poured on me. | 10But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil. |
| 11My eyes have seen the defeat of my adversaries; my ears have heard the rout of my wicked foes. | 11Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies, and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me. |
| 12The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon; | 12The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. |
| 13planted in the house of the LORD, they will flourish in the courts of our God. | 13Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God. |
| 14They will still bear fruit in old age, they will stay fresh and green, | 14They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing; |
| 15proclaiming, "The LORD is upright; he is my Rock, and there is no wickedness in him." | 15To shew that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him. |
