| 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.
