BrentonIt is a good thing to give thanks to the Lord, and to sing praises to thy name, O thou Most High;

BrentonFor thou, O Lord, hast made me glad with thy work: and in the operations of thy hands will I exult.
GreekὍτι εὔφρανάς με, Κύριε, ἐν τῷ ποιήματί σου, καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἔργοις τῶν χειρῶν σου ἀγαλλιάσομαι.

BrentonHow have thy works been magnified, O Lord! thy thoughts are very deep.

7
ThomsonA thousand may fall at thy side; and ten thousand at thy right hand: but it shall not approach thee.

8
ThomsonBut thou with thine eyes shalt observe, and see the reward of the wicked.
BrentonWhen the sinners spring up as the grass, and all the workers of iniquity have watched; it is that they may be utterly destroyed for ever.
GreekἘν τῷ ἀνατεῖλαι τοὺς ἁμαρτωλοὺς ὡσεὶ χόρτον, καὶ διέκυψαν πάντες οἱ ἐργαζόμενοι τὴν ἀνομίαν, ὅπως ἂν ἐξολοθρευθῶσιν εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος.
9
ThomsonBecause Thou, O Lord, my hope; hast made the Most High thy refuge;
BrentonBut thou, O Lord, art most high for ever.
GreekΣὺ δὲ ὕψιστος εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, Κύριε.
10
Thomsonno evils shall come upon thee, nor shall a scourge approach thy dwelling.
BrentonFor, behold, thine enemies shall perish; and all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

11
ThomsonFor He will give His angels a charge concerning thee; to keep thee in all thy ways;
BrentonBut my horn shall be exalted as the horn of a unicorn; and mine old age with rich mercy.
GreekΚαὶ ὑψωθήσεται ὡς μονοκέρωτος τὸ κέρας μου, καὶ τὸ γῆράς μου ἐν ἐλέῳ πίονι.
12
Thomsonwith their hands they shall bear thee up; shouldst thou chance to strike thy foot against a stone.
BrentonAnd mine eye has seen mine enemies, and mine ear shall hear the wicked that rise up against me.
GreekΚαὶ ἐπεῖδεν ὁ ὀφθαλμός μου ἐν τοῖς ἐχθροῖς μου, καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἐπανισταμένοις ἐπʼ ἐμὲ πονηρευομένοις ἀκούσεται τὸ οὖς μου.
13
ThomsonUpon an asp and a basilisk thou shalt tread: and trample down a lion and a dragon.
BrentonThe righteous shall flourish as a palm-tree: he shall be increased as the cedar in Libanus.
GreekΔίκαιος ὡς φοῖνιξ ἀνθήσει, ὡς ἡ κέδρος ἡ ἐν τῷ Λιβάνῳ πληθυνθήσεται·
14
ThomsonBecause he trusted in Me, I will deliver him: I will protect him because he knew My name.
BrentonThey that are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God.
GreekΠεφυτευμένοι ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ Κυρίου, ἐν ταῖς αὐλαῖς τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν ἐξανθήσουσι.
15
ThomsonHe will call on Me, and I will answer him: I am with him in affliction: I will deliver him and honour him.
BrentonThen shall they be increased in a fine old age; and they shall be prosperous; that they may declare
GreekΤότε πληθυνθήσονται ἐν γήρει πίονι, καὶ εὐπαθοῦντες ἔσονται
16
ThomsonWith length of days I will satisfy him; and I will shew him My salvation.
Brentonthat the Lord my God is righteous, and there is no iniquity in him.
Greekτοῦ ἀναγγεῖλαι· ὅτι εὐθὴς Κύριος ὁ Θεός μου, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ἀδικία ἐν αὐτῷ.
