Context: Psalm for Sabbath. Historically, Levites [Descendants of United with] sang this Psalm on Sabbath ·To cease· Day in the Temple. (No reference)

1It is a good thing to yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to Adonai,

to sing zahmar ·musical praise· to your name, Most High;

2to proclaim your chesed ·loving-kindness· in the morning,

and your faithfulness every night,

3with the ten-stringed lute, with the harp,

and with the lyre's solemn higgayon ·meditation·.

4For you, Adonai, have made me glad through your work.

I will triumph in the works of your hands.

5How great are your works, Adonai!

Your thoughts are very deep.

6A senseless man does not know,

neither does a fool understand this:

7though the wicked spring up as the grass,

and all those who practice vain striving of iniquity flourish,

they will be destroyed forever.

8But you, Adonai, are on high forever more.

9For, behold, your enemies, Adonai,

for, behold, your enemies shall perish.

All those who practice vain striving of iniquity will be scattered.

10But you have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox.

I am anointed with fresh oil.

11My eye has also seen my enemies.

My ears have sh'ma ·heard obeyed· of the wicked enemies who rise up against me.

12The upright shall flourish like the palm tree.

He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

13They are planted in Adonai’s house.

They will flourish in our God’s courts.

14They will still produce fruit in old age.

They will be full of sap and green,

15to show that Adonai is upright.

He is my rock,

and there is no unrighteousness in him.
