1A psalm or song for the sabbath day. It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O Most High: 2To tell in the morning of thy kindness, and of thy faithfulness in the nights. 3Upon a ten–stringed instrument, and upon the psaltery; and with the sweet sound of the harp. 4For thou hast caused me to rejoice, O Lord, through thy doing: because of the works of thy hands will I triumph. 5How great are thy works, O Lord! Exceedingly profound are thy thoughts. 6A brutish man knoweth it not, and a fool cannot understand this. 7When the wicked spring up like herbs, and when all the workers of wickedness do flourish; it is that they may be destroyed evermore. 8But thou art exalted to eternity, O Lord! 9For, lo, thy enemies, O Lord, for, lo, thy enemies shall perish: all the workers of wickedness shall be scattered. 10But thou exaltest my horn like that of a reem: I am anointed with fresh oil. 11And my eye looketh on the punishment of those that regard me with envy: of the evildoers that rise up against me my ears shall bear it. 12The righteous shall spring up like the palm–tree: like a cedar in Lebanon shall he grow high. 13Planted in the house of the Lord, in the courts of our God shall they spring up. 14They shall still flourish in high old age; they shall be vigorous and covered with foliage; 15To declare that the Lord is upright: he is my rock, and there is no faultiness in him.
