[1]It is a good thing to praise the Lord, and to sing unto thy name, O Most High,
[2]To declare thy loving kindness in the morning, and thy truth in the night,
[3]Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the viol with the song upon the harp.
[4]For thou, Lord, hast made me glad by thy works, and I will rejoice in the works of thine hands.
[5]O Lord, how glorious are thy works! And thy thoughts are very deep.
[6]An unwise man knoweth it not, and a fool doth not understand this,
[7](When the wicked grow as the grass, and all the workers of wickedness do flourish) that they shall be destroyed forever.
[8]But thou, O Lord, art Most High forevermore.
[9]For lo, thine enemies, O Lord: for lo, thine enemies shall perish: all the workers of iniquity shall be destroyed.
[10]But thou shalt exalt mine horn, like the unicorns, and I shall be anointed with fresh oil.
[11]Mine eye also shall see my desire against mine enemies: and mine ears shall hear my wish against the wicked, that rise up against me.
[12]The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree, and shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
[13]Such as be planted in the house of the Lord, shall flourish in the courts of our God.
[14]They shall still bring forth fruit in their age: they shall be fat and flourishing,
[15]To declare that the Lord my rock is righteous, and that none iniquity is in him.
