How Great Are Your Works 1{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. 2{91:3}To shew forth thy mercy in the morning, and thy truth in the night: 3{91:4}Upon an instrument of ten strings, upon the psaltery: with a canticle upon the harp. 4{91:5}For thou hast given me, O Lord, a delight in thy doings: and in the works of thy hands I shall rejoice. 5{91:6}O Lord, how great are thy works! thy thoughts are exceeding deep. 6{91:7}The senseless man shall not know: nor will the fool understand these things. 7{91:8}When the wicked shall spring up as grass: and all the workers of iniquity shall appear: That they may perish for ever and ever: 8{91:9}But thou, O Lord, art most high for evermore. 9{91:10}For behold thy enemies, O Lord, for behold thy enemies shall perish: and all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered. 10{91:11}But my horn shall be exalted like that of the unicorn: and my old age in plentiful mercy. 11{91:12}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. 12{91:13}The just shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow up like the cedar of Libanus. 13{91:14}They that are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of the house of our God. 14{91:15}They shall still increase in a fruitful old age: and shall be well treated, 15{91:16}That they may shew, That the Lord our God is righteous, and there is no iniquity in him.
