The text of the psalm

מִזְמוֹר שִׁיר לְיוֹם הַשַׁבָּֽת׃

A Psalm, a Song. For the sabbath day.

טוֹב לְהֹדוֹת לַיהוָה וּלְזַמֵּר לְשִׁמְךָ עֶלְיֽוֹן׃

It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, And to sing praises unto Thy name, O Most High;

לְהַגִּיד בַּבֹּקֶר חַסְדֶּךָ וֶאֱמוּנָתְךָ בַּלֵּילֽוֹת׃

To declare Thy lovingkindness in the morning, And Thy faithfulness in the night seasons,

עֲלֵי־עָשׂוֹר וַעֲלֵי־נָבֶל עֲלֵי הִגָּיוֹן בְּכִנּֽוֹר׃

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

כִּי שִׂמַּחְתַּנִי יְהוָה בְּפָעֳלֶךָ בְּמַעֲשֵׂי יָדֶיךָ אֲרַנֵּֽן׃

For Thou, LORD, hast made me glad through Thy work; I will exult in the works of Thy hands.

מַה־גָּדְלוּ מַעֲשֶׂיךָ יְהוָה מְאֹד עָמְקוּ מַחְשְׁבֹתֶֽיךָ׃

How great are Thy works, O LORD! Thy thoughts are very deep.

אִישׁ־בַּעַר לֹא יֵדָע וּכְסִיל לֹא־יָבִין אֶת־זֹֽאת׃

A brutish man knoweth not, Neither doth a fool understand this.

בִּפְרֹחַ רְשָׁעִים כְּמוֹ עֵשֶׂב וַיָּצִיצוּ כָּל־פֹּעֲלֵי אָוֶן לְהִשָּׁמְדָם עֲדֵי־עַֽד׃

When the wicked spring up as the grass, And when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; It is that they may be destroyed for ever.

וְאַתָּה מָרוֹם לְעֹלָם יְהוָֽה׃

But Thou, O LORD, art on high for evermore.

כִּי הִנֵּה אֹיְבֶיךָ יְהוָה כִּי־הִנֵּה אֹיְבֶיךָ יֹאבֵדוּ יִתְפָּרְדוּ כָּל־פֹּעֲלֵי אָֽוֶן׃

For, lo, Thine enemies, O LORD, For, lo, Thine enemies shall perish: All the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

וַתָּרֶם כִּרְאֵים קַרְנִי בַּלֹּתִי בְּשֶׁמֶן רַעֲנָֽן׃

But my horn hast Thou exalted like the horn of the wild-ox; I am anointed with rich oil.

וַתַּבֵּט עֵינִי בְּשׁוּרָי בַּקָּמִים עָלַי מְרֵעִים תִּשְׁמַעְנָה אָזְנָֽי׃

Mine eye also hath gazed on them that lie in wait for me, Mine ears have heard my desire of the evil-doers that rise up against me.

צַדִּיק כַּתָּמָר יִפְרָח כְּאֶרֶז בַּלְּבָנוֹן יִשְׂגֶּֽה׃

The righteous shall flourish like the palm-tree; He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

שְׁתוּלִים בְּבֵית יְהוָה בְּחַצְרוֹת אֱלֹהֵינוּ יַפְרִֽיחוּ׃

Planted in the house of the LORD, They shall flourish in the courts of our God.

עוֹד יְנוּבוּן בְּשֵׂיבָה דְּשֵׁנִים וְרַעֲנַנִּים יִהְיֽוּ׃

They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; They shall be full of sap and richness;

לְהַגִּיד כִּי־יָשָׁר יְהוָה צוּרִי וְלֹא־עַוְלָתָה בּֽוֹ׃

To declare that the LORD is upright, My Rock, in whom there is no unrighteousness.
