1. To render thanks unto the Lordit is a comely thing,And to thy name, O thou most High,due praise aloud to sing.
2. Thy loving-kindness to shew forthwhen shines the morning light;And to declare thy faithfulnesswith pleasure ev'ry night.
3. On a ten-stringed instrument,upon the psaltery,And on the harp with solemn sound,and grave sweet melody.
4. For thou, Lord, by thy mighty workshast made my heart right glad;And I will triumph in the workswhich by thine hands were made.
5. How great, Lord, are thy works! each thoughtof thine a deep it is:
6. A brutish man it knoweth not;fools understand not this.
7. When those that lewd and wicked arespring quickly up like grass,And workers of iniquitydo flourish all apace;It is that they for ever maydestroyed be and slain;
8. But thou, O Lord, art the most High,for ever to remain.
9. For, lo, thine enemies, O Lord,thine en'mies perish shall;The workers of iniquityshall be dispersed all.
