1 “A psalm for the Sabbath-day.” It is a good thing to give thanks to the LORD, And to sing praises to thy name, O Most High! 2 To show forth thy loving-kindness in the morning, And thy faithfulness every night, 3 Upon the ten-stringed instrument and the lute, Upon the harp with a solemn sound. 4 For thou, LORD, hast made me glad by thy doings; In the works of thy hands I greatly rejoice! 5 How great are thy works, O LORD! How deep thy purposes! 6 But the unwise man knoweth not this, And the fool understandeth it not. 7 When the wicked spring up like grass, And all who practise iniquity flourish, It is but to be destroyed for ever! 8 Thou, O LORD! art for ever exalted! 9 For, lo! thine enemies, O LORD! For, lo! thine enemies perish, And dispersed are all who do iniquity! 10 But my horn thou exaltest like the buffalo's; I am anointed with fresh oil. 11 Mine eye hath gazed with joy upon mine enemies; Mine ears have heard with joy of my wicked adversaries. 12 The righteous shall flourish like the palm-tree; They shall grow up like the cedars of Lebanon; 13 Planted in the house of the LORD, They shall flourish in the courts of our God. 14 Even in old age they bring forth fruit; They are green, and full of sap; 15 To show that the LORD, my rock, is upright, That there is no unrighteousness in him.
