2 To show early thy mercy; and thy truth by night. (To declare thy love in the morning; and thy faithfulness every night.)
3 In a psaltery of ten cords; with song in harp. (On a lute with ten strings; and with a song on the harp.)
4 For thou, Lord, hast delighted me in (the works of) thy making; and I shall make full out joy in the works of thine hands. (For thou, Lord, hast delighted me with thy deeds, or thy acts; and I shall rejoice over the works of thy hands.)
5 Lord, thy works be magnified greatly; thy thoughts be made full deep. (Lord, thy works be truly great; thy thoughts be so very deep!)
6 An unwise man shall not know; and a fool shall not understand these things. (But this is what the ignorant do not know; and what the foolish do not understand.)
7 When sinners come forth, as hay; and all they appear, that work wickedness. That they perish into the world of world; (That even though the sinners come forth like hay, or like grass, and that those who do evil prosper; they shall all utterly perish forever.)
8 forsooth thou, Lord, art the Highest, into without end. (But thou, Lord, art the Most High, forever.)
9 For lo! Lord, thine enemies, for lo! thine enemies shall perish; and all they shall be scattered that work wickedness (or and all who do evil shall be destroyed).
