:1. A psalm. A song for the Sabbath day.

:2. It is right to praise YHWH
:and [it is right] to sing praise to your name, Most High.

:3. [It is right] to declare your loyalty in the morning
:and [it is right to declare] your faithfulness at night.

:4. [It is right to praise YHWH] with a ten-stringed instrument and with a harp, 
:with a soft melody on a lyre.

:5. For you have made me rejoice, YHWH, by your action;
:In the work of your hands I rejoice.

:6. How great are your works, YHWH!
:Your plans are so deep.

:7. Stupid people do not know [this]
:and fools do not understand this:

:8. when wicked people flourish like a green plant
:and any evildoers prosper,
:[this is] for them to be destroyed forever,

:9. but you are on high forever, YHWH.

:10. For look, your enemies, YHWH—
:for look, your enemies will perish;
:all evildoers will be scattered,

:11. and you will lift up my horn like a wild ox,
:my old age [will be] fresh like oil,

:12. and my eyes will look upon my enemies;
:my ears will hear those who rise up against me, wicked people.

:13. The righteous will flourish like a palm tree;
:like a cedar tree in Lebanon he will grow.

:14. [They will be] transplanted in the house of YHWH;
:in the courtyards of our God they will flourish.

:15. They will still thrive in old age;
:they will be vigorous and fresh

:16. in order that people declare that YHWH, my rock, is fair
:and there is no injustice in him.}}
