A Psalm or Song for the sabbath day.
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.

3Upon an instrument of tenne strings, and vpon the psalterie: vpon the harpe with a solemne sound.

4For thou, Lord, hast made me glad through thy worke: I will triumph in the workes of thy hands.

5O Lord, how great are thy workes! and thy thoughts are very deepe.

9For loe, thine enemies, O Lord, for loe, thine enemies shall perish: all the workers of iniquity shalbe scattred.

14They shal still bring forth fruit in old age: they shalbe fat, & flourishing:

15To shew that the Lord is vpright: hee is my rocke, and there is no vnrighteousnesse in him.

1 A psalm. A sabbath song.

2 It is good to give thanks to the LORD, to sing praise to your name, Most High,

3 To proclaim your love at daybreak, your faithfulness in the night,

4 With the ten-stringed harp, with melody upon the lyre.

5 For you make me jubilant, LORD, by your deeds; at the works of your hands I shout for joy.

6 How great are your works, LORD! How profound your designs!

7 A senseless person cannot know this; a fool cannot comprehend.

8 Though the wicked flourish like grass and all sinners thrive, They are destined for eternal destruction;

9 but you, LORD, are forever on high.

10 Indeed your enemies, LORD, indeed your enemies shall perish; all sinners shall be scattered.

11 You have given me the strength of a wild ox; you have poured rich oil upon me.

12 My eyes look with glee on my wicked enemies; my ears shall hear what happens to my wicked foes.

13 The just shall flourish like the palm tree, shall grow like a cedar of Lebanon.

14 Planted in the house of the LORD, they shall flourish in the courts of our God.

15 They shall bear fruit even in old age, they will stay fresh and green,

16 To proclaim: “The LORD is just; my rock, in whom there is no wrong.”

V 1-7 It is good, fitting, to praise God for His greatness, whether by instrument or by mouth. Compare the flourishing of the wicked to be destroyed, v 7 with the flourishing of the righteous in v 12-14.

 

 

 

V 8-11. If we exalt the Lord, He will exalt us. The word desire  in v 11 has been incorrectly added. We have confidence in their eventual destruction, but we may not see or hear it.
