A Psalm or Song
for the sabbath
day
. It is a good
thing to give thanks
unto the LORD
, and to sing praises
unto thy name
, O most High
:
To shew forth thy lovingkindness
in the morning
, and thy faithfulness
every night
,
Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery
; upon the harp
with a solemn sound
.
For thou, LORD, hast made me glad
through thy work
: I will triumph
in the works
of thy hands
.
O LORD, how great
are thy works
! and thy thoughts
are very
deep
.
A brutish man
knoweth
not; neither doth a fool
understand
this.
When the wicked spring
as the grass
, and when all the workers
of iniquity
do flourish
; it is that they shall be destroyed
for ever
:
But thou, LORD, art most high
for evermore
.
For, lo, thine enemies, O LORD
, for, lo, thine enemies
shall perish
; all the workers
of iniquity
shall be scattered
.
But my horn shalt thou exalt
like the horn of an unicorn
: I shall be anointed
with fresh
oil
.
Mine eye also shall see
my desire on mine enemies
, and mine ears
shall hear
my desire of the wicked
that rise up
against me.
The righteous shall flourish
like the palm tree
: he shall grow
like a cedar
in Lebanon
.
Those that be planted in the house
of the LORD
shall flourish
in the courts
of our God
.
They shall still bring forth fruit in old age
; they shall be fat
and flourishing
;
To shew that the LORD
is upright
: he is my rock
, and there is no unrighteousness
in him.
