A Psalm, a Song for the Sabbath day.

It is ^(a)good to give thanks to the Lord And to ^(b)sing praises to Your name, O Most High;

To ^(c)declare Your lovingkindness in the morning And Your ^(d)faithfulness ^[a]by night,

^[b]With the ^(e)ten-stringed lute and ^[c]with the ^(f)harp, ^[d]With resounding music ^[e]upon the ^(g)lyre.

For You, O Lord , have made me glad by ^[f]what You ^(h)have done, I will ⁽ⁱ⁾sing for joy at the ^(j)works of Your hands.

How ^(k)great are Your works, O Lord ! Your ^[g](l)thoughts are very ^(m)deep.

A ⁽ⁿ⁾senseless man has no knowledge, Nor does a ^(o)stupid man understand this:

That when the wicked ^(p)sprouted up like grass And all ^(q)who did iniquity flourished, It was only that they might be ^(r)destroyed forevermore.

But You, O Lord , are ^(s)on high forever.

For, behold, Your enemies, O Lord , For, behold, ^(t)Your enemies will perish; All who do iniquity will be ^(u)scattered.

But You have exalted my ^(v)horn like that of the wild ox; I have ^[h]been ^(w)anointed with fresh oil.

And my eye has ^(x)looked exultantly upon ^[i]my foes, My ears hear of the evildoers who rise up against me.

The ^(y)righteous man will ^[j]flourish like the palm tree, He will grow like a ^(z)cedar in Lebanon.

^(aa)Planted in the house of the Lord , They will flourish ^(ab)in the courts of our God.

They will still ^[k](ac)yield fruit in old age; They shall be ^[l]full of sap and very green,

To ^[m]declare that ^(ad)the Lord is upright; He is my ^(ae)rock, and there is ^(af)no unrighteousness in Him.

^(a)The Lord ^[a]reigns, He is ^(b)clothed with majesty; The Lord has ^(c)clothed and girded Himself with strength; Indeed, the ^(d)world is firmly established, it will not be moved.

Your ^(e)throne is established from of old; You ^(f)are from everlasting.

The ^(g)floods have lifted up, O Lord , The floods have lifted up their voice, The floods lift up their pounding waves.

More than the sounds of many waters, Than the mighty breakers of the sea, The Lord ^(h)on high is mighty.

Your ⁽ⁱ⁾testimonies are fully confirmed; ^(j)Holiness befits Your house, O Lord , ^[b]forevermore.
