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.
