Bonum est confiteri. God is to be praised for his wondrous works.
... [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.
