1It is a good thing to praise the Lord, and to sing unto thy Name, O most High,
2To declare thy loving kindness in the morning, and thy truth in the night,
3Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the viol, with the song upon the harp.
4For thou Lord, hast made me glad by thy works, and I will rejoice in the works of thine hands.
5O Lord, how glorious are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep.
6An unwise man knoweth it not, and a fool doth not understand this,
7(When the wicked grow as the grass, and all the workers of wickedness do flourish) that they shall be destroyed forever.
8But thou, O Lord, art most High forevermore.
9For lo, thine enemies, O Lord: for lo, thine enemies shall perish: all the workers of iniquity shall be destroyed.
10But thou shalt exalt mine horn, like the unicorns, and I shall be anointed with fresh oil.
11Mine eye also shall see my desire against mine enemies: and mine ears shall hear my wish against the wicked, that rise up against me.
12The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree, and shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13Such as be planted in the house of the Lord, shall flourish in the courts of our God.
14They shall still bring forth fruit in their age: they shall be fat and flourishing,
15To declare that the Lord my rock is righteous, and that none iniquity is in him.
