[A Psalm of a Song for the Sabbath-day.]
[1]It is a good thing to give thanks to the Lord, and to sing praises to thy name, O thou Most High;
[2]to proclaim thy mercy in the morning, and thy truth by night,
[3]on a psaltery of ten strings, with a song on the harp.
[4]For thou, O Lord, hast made me glad with thy work: and in the operations of thy hands will I exult.
[5]How have thy works been magnified, O Lord! thy thoughts are very deep.
[6]A foolish man will not know, and a senseless man will not understand this.
[7]When the sinners spring up as the grass, and all the workers of iniquity have watched; it is that they may be utterly destroyed for ever.
[8]But thou, O Lord, art most high for ever.
[9]For, behold, thine enemies shall perish; and all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
[10] But my horn shall be exalted as the horn of a unicorn; and mine old age with rich mercy.
[11]And mine eye has seen mine enemies, and mine ear shall hear the wicked that rise up against me.
[12]The righteous shall flourish as a palm-tree: he shall be increased as the cedar in Libanus.
[13]They that are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God.
[14]Then shall they be increased in a fine old age; and they shall be prosperous; that they may declare
[15]that the Lord my God is righteous, and there is no iniquity in him.
