International Standard Version

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:

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

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

2to proclaim your gracious love in the morning and your faithfulness at night,

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

3accompanied by a ten-stringed instrument and a lyre, and the contemplative sound of a harp.

4For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.

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

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

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

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

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

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:

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

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

8But you are exalted forever, LORD.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

15To shew that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

15They will proclaim: "The LORD is upright; my rock, in whom there is no injustice."
