Psalms

¹ A psalm. A song. For the Sabbath day. It is good to praise the Lord and make music to your name, O Most High,

² and your faithfulness at night,

³ and the melody of the harp.

⁴ I sing for joy at the works of your hands.

⁵ how profound your thoughts!

⁶ fools do not understand,

⁷ and all evildoers flourish, they will be forever destroyed.

⁸ But you, O Lord, are exalted forever.

⁹ surely your enemies will perish; all evildoers will be scattered.

¹⁰ fine oils have been poured upon me.

¹¹ my ears have heard the rout of my wicked foes.

¹² they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon;

¹³ they will flourish in the courts of our God.

¹⁴ they will stay fresh and green,

¹⁵ he is my Rock, and there is no wickedness in him.”
