| Chapter 91 |
1 |
A psalm of a canticle on the sabbath day.
|
2 |
It is good to give praise to the Lord: and to sing to thy name, O most High.
|
3 |
To shew forth thy mercy in the morning, and thy truth in the night:
|
4 |
Upon an instrument of ten strings, upon the psaltery: with a canticle upon the harp.
|
5 |
For thou hast given me, O Lord, a delight in thy doings: and in the works of thy hands I shall rejoice.
|
6 |
O Lord, how great are thy works! thy thoughts are exceeding deep.
|
7 |
The senseless man shall not know: nor will the fool understand these things.
|
8 |
When the wicked shall spring up as grass: and all the workers of iniquity shall appear: That they may perish for ever and ever:
|
9 |
but thou, O Lord, art most high for evermore.
|
10 |
For behold thy enemies, O Lord, for behold thy enemies shall perish: and all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
|
11 |
But my horn shall be exalted like that of the unicorn: and my old age in plentiful mercy.
|
12 |
My eye also hath looked down upon my enemies: and my ear shall hear of the downfall of the malignant that rise up against me.
|
13 |
The just shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow up like the cedar of Libanus.
|
14 |
They that are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of the house of our God.
|
15 |
They shall still increase in a fruitful old age: and shall be well treated,
|
16 |
that they may shew, That the Lord our God is righteous, and there is no iniquity in him.
