{A Psalm of the 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 highest!

The righteous shall flourish like a palm-tree, and grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

They shall also bring forth more fruit in their age, and shall be fat and well liking,

Such as be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of the house of our God.

O LORD, how glorious are thy works! Thy thoughts are very deep.

But my horn shall be exalted like the horn of an unicorn; and shall be anointed with fresh oil.

For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy works; and I will rejoice over the operation of thy hands.

To tell of thy loving-kindness early in the morning, and of thy truth in the night season;

that the ungodly are green as grass, and that all the works of wickedness do flourish, to be destroyed forever.

that they may show how true the LORD my strength is, and that there is no unrighteousness in him.

An unwise man will not know this, and a fool will not understand it -

upon an instrument of ten strings, upon the lute and with a song upon the harp.

For, lo, thine enemies, O LORD, lo, thine enemies shall perish, and all the workers of wickedness shall be scattered abroad.

Mine eye also shall see his lust of mine enemies, and mine ear shall hear his desire of the wicked that arise up against me.

But thou, LORD, art the most highest for evermore.
