1A Psalm of a Song for the Sabbath-day.

2It is a good thing to give thanks to the Lord, and to sing praises to thy name, O thou Most High;

3to proclaim thy mercy in the morning, and thy truth by night,

4on a psaltery of ten strings, with a song on the harp.

5For thou, O Lord, hast made me glad with thy work: and in the operations of thy hands will I exult.

6How have thy works been magnified, O Lord! thy thoughts are very deep.

7A foolish man will not know, and a senseless man will not understand this.

8When the sinners spring up as the grass, and all the workers of iniquity ¹⁷⁵have watched; it is that they may be utterly destroyed for ever.

9But thou, O Lord, art most high for ever.

10¹⁷⁶For, behold, thine enemies shall perish; and all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

11But my horn shall be exalted as the horn of a unicorn; and mine old age with rich ¹⁷⁷mercy.

12And mine eye has seen mine enemies, and mine ear shall hear the wicked that rise up against me.

13The righteous shall flourish as a palm-tree: he shall be increased as the cedar in Libanus.

14They that are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God.

15Then shall they be increased in a ¹⁷⁸fine old age; and they shall be prosperous; that they may declare

16that the Lord my God is righteous, and there is no iniquity in him.
