1 A Psalm. -- A Song for the sabbath-day. Good to give thanks to Jehovah, And to sing praises to Thy name, O Most High,

1 מִזְמֹ֥ור שִׁ֗יר לְיֹ֣ום הַשַּׁבָּֽת׃

2 To declare in the morning Thy kindness, And Thy faithfulness in the nights.

2 טֹ֗וב לְהֹדֹ֥ות לַיהוָ֑ה וּלְזַמֵּ֖ר לְשִׁמְךָ֣ עֶלְיֹֽון׃

3 On ten strings and on psaltery, On higgaion, with harp.

3 לְהַגִּ֣יד בַּבֹּ֣קֶר חַסְֽדֶּ֑ךָ וֶ֝אֱמֽוּנָתְךָ֗ בַּלֵּילֹֽות׃

4 For Thou hast caused me to rejoice, O Jehovah, in Thy work, Concerning the works of Thy hands I sing.

4 עֲ‍ֽלֵי־עָ֭שֹׂור וַעֲלֵי־נָ֑בֶל עֲלֵ֖י הִגָּיֹ֣ון בְּכִנֹּֽור׃

5 How great have been Thy works, O Jehovah, Very deep have been Thy thoughts.

5 כִּ֤י שִׂמַּחְתַּ֣נִי יְהוָ֣ה בְּפָעֳלֶ֑ךָ בְּֽמַעֲשֵׂ֖י יָדֶ֣יךָ אֲרַנֵּֽן׃

6 A brutish man doth not know, And a fool understandeth not this; --

6 מַה־גָּדְל֣וּ מַעֲשֶׂ֣יךָ יְהוָ֑ה מְ֝אֹ֗ד עָמְק֥וּ מַחְשְׁבֹתֶֽיךָ׃

7 When the wicked flourish as a herb, And blossom do all workers of iniquity -- For their being destroyed for ever and ever!

7 אִֽישׁ־בַּ֭עַר לֹ֣א יֵדָ֑ע וּ֝כְסִ֗יל לֹא־יָבִ֥ין אֶת־זֹֽאת׃

8 And Thou `art' high to the age, O Jehovah.

8 בִּפְרֹ֤חַ רְשָׁעִ֨ים׀ כְּמֹ֥ו עֵ֗שֶׂב וַ֭יָּצִיצוּ כָּל־פֹּ֣עֲלֵי אָ֑וֶן לְהִשָּֽׁמְדָ֥ם עֲדֵי־עַֽד׃

9 For, lo, Thine enemies, O Jehovah, For, lo, Thine enemies, do perish, Separate themselves do all workers of iniquity.

9 וְאַתָּ֥ה מָרֹ֗ום לְעֹלָ֥ם יְהוָֽה׃

10 And Thou exaltest as a reem my horn, I have been anointed with fresh oil.

10 כִּ֤י הִנֵּ֪ה אֹיְבֶ֡יךָ׀ יְֽהוָ֗ה כִּֽי־הִנֵּ֣ה אֹיְבֶ֣יךָ יֹאבֵ֑דוּ יִ֝תְפָּרְד֗וּ כָּל־פֹּ֥עֲלֵי אָֽוֶן׃

11 And mine eye looketh on mine enemies, Of those rising up against me, The evil doers, do mine ears hear.

11 וַתָּ֣רֶם כִּרְאֵ֣ים קַרְנִ֑י בַּ֝לֹּתִ֗י בְּשֶׁ֣מֶן רַעֲנָֽן׃

12 The righteous as a palm-tree flourisheth, As a cedar in Lebanon he groweth.

12 וַתַּבֵּ֥ט עֵינִ֗י בְּשׁ֫וּרָ֥י בַּקָּמִ֖ים עָלַ֥י מְרֵעִ֗ים תִּשְׁמַ֥עְנָה אָזְנָֽי׃

13 Those planted in the house of Jehovah, In the courts of our God do flourish.

13 צַ֭דִּיק כַּתָּמָ֣ר יִפְרָ֑ח כְּאֶ֖רֶז בַּלְּבָנֹ֣ון יִשְׂגֶּֽה׃

14 Still they bring forth in old age, Fat and flourishing are they,

14 תוּלִים בְּבֵ֣ית יְהוָ֑ה בְּחַצְרֹ֖ות אֱלֹהֵ֣ינוּ יַפְרִֽיחוּ׃

15 To declare that upright `is' Jehovah my rock, And there is no perverseness in Him!

15 עֹ֖וד יְנוּב֣וּן בְּשֵׂיבָ֑ה דְּשֵׁנִ֖ים וְרַֽעֲנַנִּ֣ים יִהְיֽוּ׃
