Psalms 91

¹A Canticle Psalm. On the day of the Sabbath

²It is good to confess to the Lord and to sing psalms to your name, O Most High

³to announce your mercy in the morning, and your truth throughout the night

⁴upon the ten strings, upon the psaltery, with a canticle, upon stringed instruments

⁵For you, O Lord, have delighted me with your doings, and I will exult in the works of your hands

⁶How great are your works, O Lord! Your thoughts have been made exceedingly deep

⁷A foolish man will not know these things, and a senseless one will not understand

⁸when sinners will have risen up like grass, and when all those who work iniquity will have appeared, that they shall pass away, age after age

⁹But you, O Lord, are the Most High for all eternity

¹⁰For behold your enemies, O Lord, for behold your enemies will perish, and all those who work iniquity will be dispersed

¹¹And my horn will be exalted like that of the single-horned beast, and my old age will be exalted in fruitful mercy

¹²And my eye has looked down upon my enemies, and my ear will hear of the malignant rising up against me

¹³The just one will flourish like the palm tree. He will be multiplied like the cedar of Lebanon

¹⁴Those planted in the house of the Lord will flourish in the courts of the house of our God

¹⁵They will still be multiplied in a fruitful old age, and they will endure well

¹⁶so that they may announce that the Lord our God is righteous and that there is no iniquity in him
