1“A psalm for the Sabbath-day.” It is a good thing to give thanks to the LORD, And to sing praises to thy name, O Most High!

2To show forth thy loving-kindness in the morning, And thy faithfulness every night,

3Upon the ten-stringed instrument and the lute, Upon the harp with a solemn sound.

4For thou, LORD, hast made me glad by thy doings; In the works of thy hands I greatly rejoice!

5How great are thy works, O LORD! How deep thy purposes!

6But the unwise man knoweth not this, And the fool understandeth it not.

7When the wicked spring up like grass, And all who practise iniquity flourish, It is but to be destroyed for ever!

8Thou, O LORD! art for ever exalted!

9For, lo! thine enemies, O LORD! For, lo! thine enemies perish, And dispersed are all who do iniquity!

10But my horn thou exaltest like the buffalo's; I am anointed with fresh oil.

11Mine eye hath gazed with joy upon mine enemies; Mine ears have heard with joy of my wicked adversaries.

12The righteous shall flourish like the palm-tree; They shall grow up like the cedars of Lebanon;

13Planted in the house of the LORD, They shall flourish in the courts of our God.

14Even in old age they bring forth fruit; They are green, and full of sap;

15To show that the LORD, my rock, is upright, That there is no unrighteousness in him.
