It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O Most High: |
| 2 |
To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night, |
| 3 |
Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound. |
| 4 |
For thou, Lord, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands. |
| 5 |
O Lord, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep. |
| 6 |
A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this. |
| 7 |
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: |
| 8 |
But thou, Lord, art most high for evermore. |
| 9 |
For, lo, thine enemies, O Lord, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered. |
| 10 |
But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil. |
| 11 |
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. |
| 12 |
The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. |
| 13 |
Those that be planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God. |
| 14 |
They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing; |
| 15 |
To shew that the Lord is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him. |
