NEW JERUSALEMCATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 [Psalm Song For the Sabbath] It is good to give thanks to Yahweh, to make music for your name, MostHigh,1 The Praise of a Canticle, of David himself. In the time before the Sabbath, when the earth was founded.
2 to proclaim your faithful love at daybreak, and your constancy al through the night,2 The Lord has reigned. He has been clothed with beauty.
3 on the lyre, the ten-stringed lyre, to the murmur of the harp.3 The Lord has been clothed with strength, and he has girded himself. Yet he has also confirmed the world, which will not be moved.
4 You have brought me joy, Yahweh, by your deeds, at the work of your hands I cry out,4 My throne is prepared from of old. You are from everlasting.
5 'How great are your works, Yahweh, immensely deep your thoughts!'5 Your testimonies have been made exceedingly trustworthy. Sanctity befits your house, O Lord, with length of days.
6 Stupid people cannot realise this, fools do not grasp it.
7 The wicked may sprout like weeds, and every evil-doer flourish, but only to be eternally destroyed;
8 whereas you are supreme for ever, Yahweh.
9 Look how your enemies perish, how all evil-doers are scattered!
10 You give me the strength of the wild ox, you anoint me with fresh oil;
11 I caught sight of the ambush against me, overheard the plans of the wicked.
12 The upright wil flourish like the palm tree, will grow like a cedar of Lebanon.
13 Planted in the house of Yahweh, they wil flourish in the courts of our God.
14 In old age they wil stil bear fruit, wil remain fresh and green,
15 to proclaim Yahweh's integrity; my rock, in whom no fault can be found.
