1  The psalm of song, in the day of sabbath. It is good to acknowledge to the Lord; and to sing to thy name, thou Highest.

2 To show early thy mercy; and thy truth by night.

3 In a psaltery of ten cords; with song in harp.

4 For thou, Lord, hast delighted me in the works of thy making; and I shall make full out joy in the works of thine hands.

5 Lord, thy works be magnified greatly; thy thoughts be made full deep.

6 An unwise man shall not know; and a fool shall not understand these things.

7 When sinners come forth, as hay; and all they appear, that work wicked-ness. That they perish into the world of world;

8 forsooth thou, Lord, art the Highest, without end.

9 For lo! Lord, thine enemies, for lo! thine enemies shall perish; and all they shall be scattered that work wickedness.

10 And mine horn shall be raised as an unicorn; and mine eld age shall be in plenteous mercy.

11 And mine eye despised mine enemies; and when wicked men rise against me, mine ear shall hear of their downfall.

12 A just [or rightwise] man shall flower as a palm tree; he shall be multiplied as a cedar of Lebanon.

13 Men planted in the house of the Lord; shall flower in the porches of the house of our God.

14 Yet they shall be multiplied in plenteous eld age; and they shall be suffering well.

15 That they tell, that our Lord God is rightful [or right]; and no wicked-ness is in him.
