¹A psalm. A song for Shabbat :

²It is good to give thanks to Adonai

and sing praises to your name, ‘Elyon ,

³to tell in the morning about your grace

and at night about your faithfulness,

⁴to the music of a ten-stringed [harp] and a lute,

with the melody sounding on a lyre.

⁵For, Adonai , what you do makes me happy;

I take joy in what your hands have made.

⁶How great are your deeds, Adonai !

How very deep your thoughts!

⁷Stupid people can’t know,

fools don’t understand,

⁸that when the wicked sprout like grass,

and all who do evil prosper,

it is so that they can be eternally destroyed,

⁹while you, Adonai , are exalted forever.

¹⁰For your enemies, Adonai ,

your enemies will perish;

all evildoers will be scattered.

¹¹But you have given me

the strength of a wild bull;

you anoint me with fresh olive oil.

¹²My eyes have gazed with pleasure on my enemies’ ruin,

my ears have delighted in the fall of my foes.

¹³The righteous will flourish like a palm tree,

they will grow like a cedar in the L’vanon.

¹⁴Planted in the house of Adonai ,

they will flourish in the courtyards of our God.

¹⁵Even in old age they will be vigorous,

still full of sap, still bearing fruit,

¹⁶proclaiming that Adonai is upright,

my Rock, in whom there is no wrong.
