1 - IT IS A GOOD THING TO GIVE THANKS UNTO THE LORD, AND TO SING PRAISES UNTO THY NAME, O MOST HIGH:
2 - To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,
3 - Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound.
4 - For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.
5 - O LORD, how great are thy works! and 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, LORD, art most high for evermore.
9 - For, lo, thine enemies, O LORD, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
10 - But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.
11 - Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies, and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me.
12 - The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13 - Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.
14 - They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;
15 - To shew that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
