2. To show forth Your loving-kindness in the morning and Your faithfulness by night,
3. With an instrument of ten strings and with the lute, with a solemn sound upon the lyre.
4. For You, O Lord, have made me glad by Your works; at the deeds of Your hands I joyfully sing.
5. How great are Your doings, O Lord! Your thoughts are very deep.
6. A man in his rude and uncultivated state knows not, neither does a [self-confident] fool understand this:
7. That though the wicked spring up like grass and all evildoers flourish, they are doomed to be destroyed forever.
8. But You, Lord, are on high forever.
9. For behold, Your adversaries, O Lord, for behold, Your enemies shall perish; all the evildoers shall be scattered.
10. But my horn (emblem of excessive strength and stately grace) You have exalted like that of a wild ox; I am anointed with fresh oil.
11. My eye looks upon those who lie in wait for me; my ears hear the evildoers that rise up against me.
