The Book of Psalms
Psalm 91
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. |
