Psalms 91

1A psalm of a canticle on the sabbath day.● 2It is good to give praise to the Lord: and to sing to thy name, O most High.● 3To shew forth thy mercy in the morning, and thy truth in the night:● 4Upon an instrument of ten strings, upon the psaltery: with a canticle upon the harp.● 5For thou hast given me, O Lord, a delight in thy doings: and in the works of thy hands I shall rejoice.● 6O Lord, how great are thy works! thy thoughts are exceeding deep.● 7The senseless man shall not know: nor will the fool understand these things.● 8When the wicked shall spring up as grass: and all the workers of iniquity shall appear: That they may perish for ever and ever:● 9But thou, O Lord, art most high for evermore.● 10For behold thy enemies, O lord, for behold thy enemies shall perish: and all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.● 11But my horn shall be exalted like that of the unicorn: and my old age in plentiful mercy.● 12My eye also hath looked down upon my enemies: and my ear shall hear of the downfall of the malignant that rise up against me.● 13The just shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow up like the cedar of Libanus.● 14They that are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of the house of our God.● 15They shall still increase in a fruitful old age: and shall be well treated,● 16That they may shew, That the Lord our God is righteous, and there is no iniquity in him.●
