1En sang til sabbatten.2Det er godt at takke dig, Herre, at lovsynge den almægtige Gud,3at mindes din nåde hver morgen, at takke dig for din trofasthed hver aften,4at prise dig til harpeklang, til toner fra lut og lyre.5Jeg fryder mig over dine undere, glæder mig over dine gerninger.6Du gør utrolige ting, Herre, dine tanker er ufattelige.7Der er noget, som tåber ikke kan begribe, en sandhed, de uvidende ikke kan forstå:8Selv om de gudløse ser ud til at klare sig godt, bliver de til sidst udslettet for evigt.9Men du, Herre, har magten i al evighed,10du nedkæmper alle dine fjender. De gudløse vil gå til grunde, de onde vil blive gjort til intet.11Du har givet mig styrke som vildoksen, din støtte giver mig glæde og fremgang.12Jeg har set mine fjender falde, hørt om mine angriberes nederlag.13De retskafne trives som mægtige palmer, vokser sig store som Libanons cedre.14De er plantet i Herrens Hus, dér trives de under hans pleje.15Selv i alderdommen bærer de frugt, de bevarer deres friskhed og livskraft.16De vidner om Herrens beskyttelse, han er helt igennem god og retfærdig.

How Great Are Your Works
1A Psalm. A Song for the Sabbath. It is good to give thanks to the Lord, to sing praises to your name, O Most High;2to declare your steadfast love in the morning, and your faithfulness by night,3to the music of the lute and the harp, to the melody of the lyre.4For you, O Lord, have made me glad by your work; at the works of your hands I sing for joy.5How great are your works, O Lord! Your thoughts are very deep!6The stupid man cannot know; the fool cannot understand this:7that though the wicked sprout like grass and all evildoers flourish, they are doomed to destruction forever;8but you, O Lord, are on high forever.9For behold, your enemies, O Lord, for behold, your enemies shall perish; all evildoers shall be scattered.10But you have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox; you have poured over me* fresh oil.11My eyes have seen the downfall of my enemies; my ears have heard the doom of my evil assailants.12The 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 the courts of our God.14They still bear fruit in old age; they are ever full of sap and green,15to declare that the Lord is upright; he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
