Majority Standard Bible

1 A Psalm. A song for the Sabbath day. It is good to praise the LORD, and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High,

2 to proclaim Your loving devotion in the morning and Your faithfulness at night

3 with the ten-stringed harp and the melody of the lyre.

4 For You, O LORD, have made me glad by Your deeds; I sing for joy at the works of Your hands.

5 How great are Your works, O LORD, how deep are Your thoughts!

6 A senseless man does not know, and a fool does not understand,

7 that though the wicked sprout like grass, and all evildoers flourish, they will be forever destroyed.

8 But You, O LORD, are exalted forever!

9 For surely Your enemies, O LORD, surely Your enemies will perish; all evildoers will be scattered.

10 But You have exalted my horn like that of a wild ox; with fine oil I have been anointed.

11 My eyes see the downfall of my enemies; my ears hear the wailing of my wicked foes.

12 The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, and grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

13 Planted in the house of the LORD, they will flourish in the courts of our God.

14 In old age they will still bear fruit; healthy and green they will remain,

15 to proclaim, “The LORD is upright; He is my Rock, and in Him there is no unrighteousness.”

KJV

1 ¶ A Psalm [or] Song for the sabbath day. [It is a] good [thing] to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High:

2 To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,

3 Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound.

4 For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.

5 O LORD, how great are thy works! [and] thy thoughts are very deep.

6 A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this.

7 ¶ When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; [it is] that they shall be destroyed for ever:

8 But thou, LORD, [art most] high for evermore.

9 For, lo, thine enemies, O LORD, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

10 But my horn shalt thou exalt like [the horn of] an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.

11 Mine eye also shall see [my desire] on mine enemies, [and] mine ears shall hear [my desire] of the wicked that rise up against me.

12 The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

13 Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.

14 They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;

15 To shew that the LORD [is] upright: [he is] my rock, and [there is] no unrighteousness in him.

1545 Luther's English Bible (LED)

God is to be praised, and why?

1 a psalm song on the Sabbath day.

2 This is a good thing, to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O thou most High.

3 proclaim thy grace in the morning, and thy truth at night,

4 on the ten strings and psaltery, with playing on the harp.

5 For, O LORD, thou hast made me to sing joyfully of thy works, and I have glorified the works of thy hands.

6 O Lord, how great are thy works! Thy thoughts are so very deep.

7 A foolish man believeth not, and a fool regardeth not these things.

8 The wicked flourish as the grass, and the transgressors all flourish, until they be destroyed for ever and ever.

9 But thou, O LORD, art the most high, and abidest for ever.

10 For, lo, thine enemies, O LORD, behold, thine enemies shall perish; and all evildoers must be scattered.

11 But my horn shall be exalted as the horn of a unicorn, and shall be anointed with fresh oil.

12 And mine eye shall see his delight in mine enemies, and mine ear shall hear his delight in the wicked that set themselves against me.

13 The righteous shall be green as a palm tree; he shall grow as a cedar in Lebanon.

14 They that are planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.

15 And though they grow old alike, yet they shall flourish, and be fruitful and fresh,

16 That they may proclaim that the LORD is my stronghold, and that there is no wrong in him.
