1 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. |
