1 A psalm. A song for the Sabbath day.It is good to praise Yahweh,to sing praise to Your name, Most High,(A)

1 It is good to give thanks to the LORD and to sing praise to your name, Most High;

2 Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon a harp, With resounding music on the lyre.

2 To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,

2 To (C)declare Your lovingkindness in the morningAnd Your (D)faithfulness (a)by night,

3 For thou hat made me glad, O Yahweh, in thy doing, In the works of thy hands, will I shout for joy.

3 Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound.

3 (b)With the (E)ten-stringed lute and (c)with the (F)harp,(d)With resounding music (e)upon the (G)lyre.

3 with a ten-stringed harpand the music of a lyre.(C)

4 For You, O Lord, have made me glad by (f)what You (H)have done,I will (I)sing for joy at the (J)works of Your hands.

4 For You have made me rejoice, Lord,by what You have done;I will shout for joybecause of the works of Your hands.(D)

4 Because you made me glad with your awesome deeds, LORD, I will sing for joy at the works of your hands.

5 A man that is brutish, cannot know, And, dullard, cannot discern this: -

5 O LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep.

5 How (K)great are Your works, O Lord!Your (g)(L)thoughts are very (M)deep.

5 How magnificent are Your works, Lord,how profound Your thoughts!(E)

5 How great are your works, LORD! Your thoughts are unfathomable.

6 When the lawless do thrive like grass, And all the workers of iniquity have blossomed, It is that they may be destroyed for ever.

6 A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this.

6 A (N)senseless man has no knowledge,Nor does a (O)stupid man understand this:

6 A stupid person does not know,a fool does not understand this:(F)

6 A stupid man doesn't know, and a fool can't comprehend this:

7 But, thou, shalt be on high age-abidingly, O Yahweh.

7 When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever:

7 That when the wicked (P)sprouted up like grassAnd all (Q)who did iniquity flourished,It was only that they might be (R)destroyed forevermore.

7 though the wicked sprout like grassand all evildoers flourish,they will be eternally destroyed.(G)

7 Though the wicked sprout like grass; and all who practice iniquity flourish, it is they who will be eternally destroyed.

8 For lo! thine enemies, Yahweh, For lo! thine enemies, shall perish, They shall be scattered - all the workers of iniquity;

8 But thou, LORD, art most high for evermore.

8 But You, O Lord, are (S)on high forever.

8 But You, Lord, are exalted forever.(H)

8 But you are exalted forever, LORD.

9 But thou wilt exalt, as those of the buffalo, my horn, I have been anointed, with fresh oil.

9 For, lo, thine enemies, O LORD, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

9 For, behold, Your enemies, O Lord,For, behold, (T)Your enemies will perish;All who do iniquity will be (U)scattered.

9 For indeed, Lord, Your enemies—indeed, Your enemies will perish;all evildoers will be scattered.(I)

9 Look at your enemies, LORD! Look at your enemies, for they are destroyed; everyone who practices iniquity will be scattered.

10 So hath mine eye descried them who were lying in wait for me, - Of my wicked assailants, mine ears, shall hear.

10 But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.

10 But You have exalted my (V)horn like that of the wild ox;I have (h)been (W)anointed with fresh oil.

10 You have lifted up my horn(J)like that of a wild ox;I have been anointed(a) with oil.(K)

10 You've grown my strength like the horn of a wild ox; I was anointed with fresh oil.

11 The righteous, like the palm-tree, shall thrive, Like the cedar in Lebanon, shall he grow;

11 Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies, and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me.

11 And my eye has (X)looked exultantly upon (i)my foes,My ears hear of the evildoers who rise up against me.

11 My eyes look down on my enemies;my ears hear evildoers when they attack me.(L)

11 My eyes gloated over those who lie in wait for me; when those of evil intent attack me, my ears will hear.

12 They who are planted in the house of Yahweh, In the courts of our God, shall flourish;

12 The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

12 The (Y)righteous man will (j)flourish like the palm tree,He will grow like a (Z)cedar in Lebanon.

12 The righteous thrive like a palm treeand grow like a cedar tree in Lebanon.(M)

12 The righteous will flourish like palm trees; they will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

13 Still shall they bear fruit in old age, Vigorous and fresh, shall they be:

13 Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.

13 (AA)Planted in the house of the Lord,They will flourish (AB)in the courts of our God.

13 Planted in the house of the Lord,they thrive in the courts of our God.(N)

13 Planted in the LORD's Temple, they will flourish in the courtyard of our God.

14 To declare that upright is Yahweh, My Rock, and no perversity in him.

14 They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;

14 They will still (k)(AC)yield fruit in old age;They shall be (l)full of sap and very green,

14 They will still bear fruit in old age,healthy and green,(O)

14 They will still bear fruit even in old age; they will be luxuriant and green.
