New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (nwt, en_US, 2013)

Psalm

A melody. A song for the Sabbath day.

¹ It is good to give thanks to Jehovah And to sing praises^*1 to your name, O Most High,

² To declare your loyal love in the morning And your faithfulness during the nights,

³ Accompanied by a ten-stringed instrument and a lute, By the melodious sound of a harp.

⁴ For you have made me rejoice, O Jehovah, because of your deeds; Because of the works of your hands I shout joyfully.

⁵ How great your works are, O Jehovah! How very deep your thoughts are!

⁶ No unreasoning man can know them; And no foolish person can understand this:

⁷ When the wicked sprout like weeds^*1 And all the wrongdoers flourish, It is that they may be annihilated forever.

⁸ But you are exalted forever, O Jehovah.

⁹ Indeed, look in triumph on your enemies, O Jehovah, Look at how your enemies will perish; All the wrongdoers will be scattered.

¹⁰ But you will exalt my strength^*1 like that of a wild bull; I will moisten my skin with fresh oil.

¹¹ My eyes will look in triumph on my foes; My ears will hear about the downfall of the evil men who attack me.

¹² But the righteous will flourish like a palm tree And grow big like a cedar in Lebʹa·non.

¹³ They are planted in the house of Jehovah; They flourish in the courtyards of our God.

¹⁴ Even in old age^*1 they will still be thriving; They will remain vigorous^*2 and fresh,

¹⁵ Declaring that Jehovah is upright. He is my Rock, in whom there is no unrighteousness.
