[A Psalm of a Song for the Sabbath-day.][1]It is a good thing to give thanks to the Lord, and to sing praises to thy name, O thou Most High;[2]to proclaim thy mercy in the morning, and thy truth by night,[3]on a psaltery of ten strings, with a song on the harp.[4]For thou, O Lord, hast made me glad with thy work: and in the operations of thy hands will I exult.[5]How have thy works been magnified, O Lord! thy thoughts are very deep.[6]A foolish man will not know, and a senseless man will not understand this.[7]When the sinners spring up as the grass, and all the workers of iniquity have watched; it is that they may be utterly destroyed for ever.[8]But thou, O Lord, art most high for ever.[9]For, behold, thine enemies shall perish; and all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.[10] But my horn shall be exalted as the horn of a unicorn; and mine old age with rich mercy.[11]And mine eye has seen mine enemies, and mine ear shall hear the wicked that rise up against me.[12]The righteous shall flourish as a palm-tree: he shall be increased as the cedar in Libanus.[13]They that are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God.[14]Then shall they be increased in a fine old age; and they shall be prosperous; that they may declare[15]that the Lord my God is righteous, and there is no iniquity in him.
