- [A Psalme or song for the Sabbath day.]
- 1
- It is a good thing to giue thanks vnto the Lord, and to sing praises vnto thy Name, O most High:
- 2
- To shew foorth thy louing kindnesse in the morning: and thy faithfulnesse euery night:
- 3
- Upon an instrument of tenne strings, and vpon the psalterie: vpon the harpe with a solemne sound.
- 4
- For thou, Lord, hast made me glad through thy worke: I will triumph in the workes of thy hands.
- 5
- O Lord, how great are thy workes!
and thy thoughts are very deepe.
- 6
- A brutish man knoweth not: neither doeth a foole vnderstand this.
- 7
- When the wicked spring as the grasse, and when all the workers of iniquitie doe flourish: it is that they shall be destroyed for euer.
- 8
- But thou, Lord, art most high for euermore.
- 9
- For loe, thine enemies, O Lord, for loe, thine enemies shall perish: all the workers of iniquity shalbe scattred.
- 10
- But my horne shalt thou exalt like the horne of an vnicorne: I shalbe anointed with fresh oyle.
- 11
- Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies: and mine eares shall heare my desire of the wicked that rise vp against me.
- 12
- The righteous shal flourish like the palme tree: hee shall growe 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 shal still bring forth fruit in old age: they shalbe fat, & flourishing:
- 15
- To shew that the Lord is vpright: hee is my rocke, and there is no vnrighteousnesse in him.
