¹ They will lift you up in their hands, So that you do not [even] strike your foot against a stone.

² You will tread upon the lion and cobra; The young lion and the serpent you will trample underfoot.

³ "Because he set his love on Me, therefore I will save him; I will set him [securely] on high, because he knows My name [he confidently trusts and relies on Me, knowing I will never abandon him, no, never].

⁴ "He will call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and honor him.

⁵ "With a long life I will satisfy him And I will let him see My salvation."

⁶ A Psalm. A Song for the Sabbath day. It is a good and delightful thing to give thanks to the LORD, To sing praises to Your name, O Most High,

⁷ To declare Your lovingkindness in the morning And Your faithfulness by night,

⁸ With an instrument of ten strings and with the harp, With a solemn sound on the lyre.

⁹ For You, O LORD, have made me glad by Your works; At the works of Your hands I joyfully sing.

¹⁰ How great are Your works, O LORD! Your thoughts are very deep [beyond man's understanding].

¹¹ A senseless man [in his crude and uncultivated state] knows nothing, Nor does a [self-righteous] fool understand this:

¹² That though the wicked sprout up like grass And all evildoers flourish, They will be destroyed forever.

¹³ But You, LORD, are on high forever.

¹⁴ For behold, Your enemies, O LORD, For behold, Your enemies will perish; All who do evil will be scattered.

¹⁵ But my horn [my emblem of strength and power] You have exalted like that of a wild ox; I am anointed with fresh oil [for Your service].

¹⁶ My eye has looked on my foes; My ears hear of the evildoers who rise up against me.

¹⁷ The righteous will flourish like the date palm [long-lived, upright and useful]; They will grow like a cedar in Lebanon [majestic and stable].

¹⁸ Planted in the house of the LORD, They will flourish in the courts of our God.

¹⁹ [Growing in grace] they will still thrive and bear fruit and prosper in old age; They will flourish and be[1] vital and fresh [rich in trust and love and contentment];

²⁰ [They are living memorials] to declare that the LORD is upright and faithful [to His promises]; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.

²¹ The LORD reigns, He is clothed with majesty and splendor; The LORD has clothed and encircled Himself with strength; the world is firmly established, it cannot be moved.

²² Your throne is established from of old; You are from everlasting.

²³ The floods have lifted up, O LORD, The floods have lifted up their voice; The floods lift up their pounding waves.

²⁴ More than the sounds of many waters, More than the mighty breakers of the sea, The LORD on high is mighty.

²⁵ Your precepts are fully confirmed and completely reliable; Holiness adorns Your house, O LORD, forever.

²⁶ O LORD God, You to whom vengeance belongs, O God, You to whom vengeance belongs, shine forth [in judgment]!

²⁷ Rise up, O Judge of the earth; Give to the proud a fitting compensation.

²⁸ O LORD, how long will the wicked, How long will the wicked rejoice in triumph?
