1 A Psalm, a Song. For the sabbath day.
2 It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, And to sing praises unto Thy name, O Most High;
3 To declare Thy lovingkindness in the morning, And Thy faithfulness in the night seasons,
4 With an instrument of ten strings, and with the psaltery; With a solemn sound upon the harp.
5 For Thou, LORD, hast made me glad through Thy work; I will exult in the works of Thy hands.
6 How great are Thy works, O LORD! Thy thoughts are very deep.
7 A brutish man knoweth not, Neither doth a fool understand this.
8 When the wicked spring up as the grass, And when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; It is that they may be destroyed for ever.
9 But Thou, O LORD, art on high for evermore.
10 For, lo, Thine enemies, O LORD, For, lo, Thine enemies shall perish: All the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
11 But my horn hast Thou exalted like the horn of the wild-ox; I am anointed with rich oil.
12 Mine eye also hath gazed on them that lie in wait for me, Mine ears have heard my desire of the evil-doers that rise up against me.
13 The righteous shall flourish like the palm-tree; He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
14 Planted in the house of the LORD, They shall flourish in the courts of our God.
15 They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; They shall be full of sap and richness;
16 To declare that the LORD is upright, My Rock, in whom there is no unrighteousness.
