Saint of the day · January 14

¹ A Psalm. A song for the Sabbath day. It is a good thing to give thanks to Yahweh, to sing praises to your name, Most High,

² to proclaim your loving kindness in the morning, and your faithfulness every night,

³ with the ten-stringed lute, with the harp, and with the melody of the lyre.

⁴ For you, Yahweh, have made me glad through your work. I will triumph in the works of your hands.

⁵ How great are your works, Yahweh! Your thoughts are very deep.

⁶ A senseless man doesn’t know, neither does a fool understand this:

⁷ though the wicked spring up as the grass, and all the evildoers flourish, they will be destroyed forever.

⁸ But you, Yahweh, are on high forever more.

⁹ For behold, your enemies, Yahweh, for behold, your enemies shall perish. All the evildoers will be scattered.

¹⁰ But you have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox. I am anointed with fresh oil.

¹¹ My eye has also seen my enemies. My ears have heard of the wicked enemies who rise up against me.

¹² The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree. He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

¹³ They are planted in Yahweh’s house. They will flourish in our God’s courts.

¹⁴ They will still produce fruit in old age. They will be full of sap and green,

¹⁵ to show that Yahweh is upright. He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
