A Psalm or Song for the sabbath day.
1 It is a good thing to give thanks Jehovah thee unto: unto thy name praises to sing, O thou most high also. 2 Thy lovingkindness to show forth within the morning light: also thy truth, and faithfulness, to show forth every night.
3 Upon a ten string’d instrument, and psaltery upon: upon the solemn sounding harp, a meditation. 4 For through thy work, O Lord, thou hast me caused to rejoice: and in the workings of thy hands I will triumph with voice.
5 O Lord, how mighty are thy works: thy thoughts are very deep. 6 The brutish knows not; nor the fool this in his heart doth keep. 7 When as the wicked do spring up ev’n like the grass unto, and all that work iniquity when as they flourish do:
it’s that they then may be destroy’d to perpetuity. 8 But thou, Jehovah, dost abide for evermore most high. 9 For lo, thy foes, for lo, O Lord, thy foes they perish shall: the workers of iniquity they shall be scatter’d all.
10 But like the unicorns my horn thou shalt exalt on high: and with fresh oil in mine old age anointed be shall I. 11 Also mine eye shall see my wish upon mine enemies: mine ear shall hear of wicked ones, that up against me rise.
12 Like to the palm tree flourish shall he that is righteous: like to a cedar he shall grow that is in Lebanon. 13 They that within Jehovah’s house are planted stedfastly: within the courts of our God they shall flourish pleasantly.
14 Their fruit they shall in their old age continue forth to bring; they shall be fat, yea likewise they shall still be flourishing; 15 To show that upright is the Lord: my refuge strong is he, also that there is not in him any iniquity.
