1A psalm. A song for Shabbat: It is good to give thanks to ADONAI and sing praises to your name, 'Elyon,
2to tell in the morning about your grace and at night about your faithfulness,
3to the music of a ten-stringed [harp] and a lute, with the melody sounding on a lyre.
4For, ADONAI, what you do makes me happy; I take joy in what your hands have made.
5How great are your deeds, ADONAI! How very deep your thoughts!
6Stupid people can't know, fools don't understand,
7that when the wicked sprout like grass, and all who do evil prosper, it is so that they can be eternally destroyed,
8while you, ADONAI, are exalted forever.
9For your enemies, ADONAI, your enemies will perish; all evildoers will be scattered.
10But you have given me the strength of a wild bull; you anoint me with fresh olive oil.
11My eyes have gazed with pleasure on my enemies' ruin, my ears have delighted in the fall of my foes.
12The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, they will grow like a cedar in the L'vanon.
13Planted in the house of ADONAI, they will flourish in the courtyards of our God.
14Even in old age they will be vigorous, still full of sap, still bearing fruit,
15proclaiming that ADONAI is upright, my Rock, in whom there is no wrong.
