How Great Are Your Works
A Psalm. A Song for the Sabbath.

Ps. 147:1; [Ps. 71:22] It is good to give thanks to the Lord,
to sing praises to your name, #[Gen. 14:19, 20]O Most High;
2to declare your #See Ps. 36:5 steadfast love in #[Ps. 119:147, 148]the morning,
and your #See Ps. 36:5 faithfulness by #[Ps. 119:147, 148]night,
3to the music of #See Ps. 33:2the lute and #See Ps. 33:2the harp,
to the melody of #See Ps. 33:2the lyre.
4For you, O Lord, have made me glad by your #See Ps. 90:16 work;
at #Ps. 8:6the works of your hands I sing for joy.
5How #Ps. 111:2; Rev. 15:3 great are your works, O Lord!
Your #Ps. 40:5; 139:17 thoughts are very #[Rom. 11:33]; See Ps. 36:6deep!
6The stupid man cannot know;
the fool cannot understand this:
7that though #See Job 21:7 the wicked sprout like grass
and all #Ps. 94:4; 125:5evildoers flourish,
they are doomed to destruction forever;
8but you, O Lord, are #Ps. 93:4on high forever.
9For behold, your enemies, O Lord,
for behold, your enemies shall perish;
all evildoers shall be #See Ps. 68:1scattered.
10But you have exalted my #See Ps. 75:10; 1 Sam. 2:1 horn like that of #Num. 23:22 the wild ox;
you have #See Ps. 23:5poured over me#92:10 Compare Syriac; the meaning of the Hebrew is uncertain fresh oil.
11My #See Ps. 37:34; 54:7eyes have seen the downfall of my enemies;
my ears have heard the doom of my evil assailants.
12 #
Ps. 1:3; 52:8; 72:7; Prov. 11:28; [Num. 24:6; Isa. 61:3]; See Hos. 14:5-8 The righteous flourish like the palm tree
and grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13They are planted in the house of the Lord;
they flourish in #Ps. 100:4; 116:19; 135:2the courts of our God.
14They still bear fruit in old age;
they are ever full of sap and green,
15 # [Ps. 58:11] to declare that the Lord is upright;
he is my #See Ps. 18:2 rock, and there is #See Job 34:10no unrighteousness in him.

Thanksgiving to Yahweh for Victory
A psalm. A song. For the Sabbath day.#The Hebrew Bible counts the superscription as the first verse of the psalm; the English verse number is reduced by one
1It is good to give thanks to Yahweh,
and to sing praise concerning your name, O Most High;
2to declare in the morning your loyal love
and your faithfulness in the night,
3on the ten string, and on the harp,
with a melody on the lyre.
4For you, O Yahweh, have made me glad by your work;
by the deeds of your hands I sing for joy.
5How great are your deeds, O Yahweh;
how very deep are your thoughts.
6The brutish man does not know,
and the fool cannot understand this.
7When the wicked flourish like grass
and all the workers of evil blossom,
it is so they can be destroyed forever.
8But you are on high forever, O Yahweh.
9For behold, your enemies, O Yahweh,
for behold, your enemies will perish.
All the workers of evil will be scattered.
10But you have exalted my horn like that of a wild ox;
you have anointed me#The Hebrew’s “that I have moistened with fresh oil” seems unlikely. The above translation presupposes the loss of a letter in the Hebrew textual tradition (ballotani for the MT’s balloti) with fresh oil.
11And so my eye looks on my enemies.#This word for “enemies” suggests those watching for any advantage
My ears hear those evildoers who rise up against me.
12The righteous#Hebrew singular, but used as a collective. The verbs of this verse are also singular will flourish like the date palm.
They will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13Planted in the house#Or “temple” of Yahweh,
they will flourish in the courts of our God.
14They will still prosper in old age.
They will be fat and luxuriant,#This is the same word used of the oil in v. 11 and translated “fresh”
15to declare that Yahweh is upright.
He is my rock, and there is no injustice#According to the reading tradition (Qere) in him.
