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.
