¹It is a good thing to give thanks to Yahvah, and to sing praises to your name, oh Most High, ²To show forth your loving kindness in the morning, and your faithfulness every night. ³I will play on an instrument of 10 strings and on the psaltery; on the harp with a solemn sound. ⁴For you, oh Yahvah, have made me glad through your work; I will triumph in the works of your hands. ⁵Oh Yahvah, how great are your works. And your thoughts are very deep. ⁶A stupid man does not know; nor does a fool understand this.

⁷When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity flourish; it is they who will be destroyed forever; ⁸But you, Yahvah, are most high forever. ⁹For look, your enemies oh Yahvah, for look, your enemies will perish; all the workers of iniquity will be scattered. ¹⁰But my horn you will exalt like the horn of a wild ox; I will be anointed with fragrant oil. ¹¹My eyes will also see my desire on my enemies, and my ears will hear my desire against the wicked that rise up against me. ¹²The righteous will flourish like the palm tree; he will grow like a cedar in Lebanon. ¹³Those who are planted in the house of Yahvah will flourish in the courts of our God. ¹⁴They will still bring forth fruit in old age; they will be fair and desirable, ¹⁵To show that Yahvah is upright; he is mighty, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
