^1 (0) A psalm. A song for Shabbat:

^2 (1) It is good to give thanks to Adonai
and sing praises to your name, ‘Elyon,
^3 (2) to tell in the morning about your grace
and at night about your faithfulness,
^4 (3) to the music of a ten-stringed [harp] and a lute,
with the melody sounding on a lyre.

^5 (4) For, Adonai, what you do makes me happy;
I take joy in what your hands have made.
^6 (5) How great are your deeds, Adonai!
How very deep your thoughts!

^7 (6) Stupid people can't know,
fools don't understand,
^8 (7) that when the wicked sprout like grass,
and all who do evil prosper,
it is so that they can be eternally destroyed,
^9 (8) while you, Adonai, are exalted forever.

^10 (9) For your enemies, Adonai,
your enemies will perish;
all evildoers will be scattered.
^11 (10) But you have given me
the strength of a wild bull;
you anoint me with fresh olive oil.
^12 (11) My eyes have gazed with pleasure on my enemies' ruin,
my ears have delighted in the fall of my foes.

^13 (12) The righteous will flourish like a palm tree,
they will grow like a cedar in the L'vanon.
^14 (13) Planted in the house of Adonai,
they will flourish in the courtyards of our God.
^15 (14) Even in old age they will be vigorous,
still full of sap, still bearing fruit,
^16 (15) proclaiming that Adonai is upright,
my Rock, in whom there is no wrong.
