1. |
It is a good thing to give thanks unto Jehovah, And to sing praises unto thy name, O Most High; |
2. |
To show forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, And thy faithfulness every night, |
3. |
With an instrument of ten strings, and with the psaltery; With a solemn sound upon the harp. |
4. |
For thou, Jehovah, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands. |
5. |
How great are thy works, O Jehovah! Thy thoughts are very deep. |
6. |
A brutish man knoweth not; Neither doth a fool understand this: |
7. |
When the wicked spring as the grass, And when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; It is that they shall be destroyed for ever. |
8. |
But thou, O Jehovah, art on high for evermore. |
9. |
For, lo, thine enemies, O Jehovah, For, lo, thine enemies shall perish; All the workers of iniquity shall be scattered. |
10. |
But my horn hast thou exalted like `the horn of' the wild-ox: I am anointed with fresh oil. |
11. |
Mine eye also hath seen `my desire' on mine enemies, Mine ears have heard `my desire' of the evil-doers that rise up against me. |
12. |
The righteous shall flourish like the palm-tree: He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. |
13. |
They are planted in the house of Jehovah; They shall flourish in the courts of our God. |
14. |
They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; They shall be full of sap and green: |
15. |
To show that Jehovah is upright; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him. |
