A Psalm, A Poem for the Sabbath day.

A psalm, a song [(sung by the Levites)] for the Sabbath day [(the world to come, which is all "Sabbath")].

It is a good thing to give thanks to the Lord, and to sing praise to Thy name, O most High:

It is good to thank the L rd and to sing Your exalted name.

to relate Thy steadfast love in the morning, and Thy faithfulness every night,

To tell Your lovingkindness in the "morning" [(at the redemption)] and Your trust at night [(in the darkness of the exile)].

upon an instrument of ten strings and upon the harp; to the melody of the lyre.

On ten-stringed harp and psaltery, on viol [-accompanied] voice.

For Thou, Lord, hast made me glad through Thy work: I will triumph in the works of Thy hands.

For You have joyed me, O L rd, in Your deeds; the work of Your hands will I sing.

O Lord, how great are Thy works! and Thy thoughts are very deep.

How great are Your works, O L rd! Exceeding profound are Your thoughts!

A brutish man does not know; nor does a fool understand this.

An empty man will not know, and a fool will not comprehend this —

When the wicked spring like grass, and when all the workers of iniquity flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed forever:

When the wicked sprout as grass and all the doers of iniquity flourish, it is so that they be destroyed for all eternity [(G d paying them to their faces to destroy them in the end)].

but Thou, Lord, art most high for evermore.

And You are exalted [in all of Your judgments] forever, O L rd, [all vindicating Your justice].

For, lo, Thy enemies, O Lord, for lo, Thy enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

For behold Your foes, O L rd; for behold Your foes, all lost — scattered, all the doers of iniquity!

But my horn shalt Thou exalt like the horn of a wild ox: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.

But You have exalted my horn as [that of] the re'em [(a majestic beast)], anointing me in fragrant oil [(of dominion)].

My eye has seen the downfall of my enemies, and my ears have heard the doom of the wicked who rise against me.

My eye has seen [the downfall] of those who eye me [for evil]. Of the wicked who rise against me, my ears have heard [(from behind the "Divine Curtain") that they will not be able to destroy us].

The righteous man flourishes like the palm tree: he grows like a cedar in the Levanon.

The righteous one shall be fruitful as the date-palm. As the cedar in Levanon [(which renews its trunk)] shall he tower.

Those that are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God.

Planted [shall they be] in the house of the L rd; in the courts of our G d will they flourish.

They still bring forth fruit in old age; they are fat and flourishing;

They will bloom even more in [their] old age. Fertile and fresh will they be.

to declare that the Lord is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

To tell that the L rd is just. He is my rock; there is no wrong in Him.
