| Praise for Jehovah’s Goodness |
| A Psalm, a Song for the sabbath day. |
| [1] | IT is a good thing to give thanks unto Jehovah, And to sing praises unto thy name, O Most High; |
| [2] | To show forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, And thy faithfulness every night, |
| [3] | With an instrument of ten strings, and with the psaltery; With a solemn sound upon the harp. |
| [4] | For thou, Jehovah, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands. |
| [5] | How great are thy works, O Jehovah! 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, O Jehovah, art on high for evermore. |
| [9] | For, lo, thine enemies, O Jehovah, For, lo, thine enemies shall perish; All the workers of iniquity shall be scattered. |
| [10] | But my horn hast thou exalted like the horn of the wild-ox: I am anointed with fresh oil. |
| [11] | Mine eye also hath seen my desire on mine 1 enemies, Mine ears have heard my desire of the evil-doers that rise up against me. |
| [12] | The righteous shall flourish like the palm-tree: He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. |
| [13] | They are planted in the house of Jehovah; They shall flourish in the courts of our God. |
| [14] | They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; They shall be full of sap and green: |
| [15] | To show that Jehovah is upright; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him. |
| Note 1. Or, them that lie in wait for me. [back] |
