13  Justus ut palma florebit, sicut cedrus quae in Libano est, multiplicabitur.

3  ad annuntiandum mane misericordiam tuam, et veritatem tuam per noctem,
14  Plantatus in domo Domini, in atriis domus Dei nostri. Alleluia.

2  Bonum est confiteri Domino, et psallere nomini tuo, Altissime.

11  The righteous shall flourish like a palm-tree: and shall spread abroad like a cedar in Libanus.

2  To tell of thy loving-kindness early in the morning : and of thy truth in the night-season;
12  Such as are planted in the house of the Lord : shall flourish in the courts of the house of our God.

1  It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord: and to sing praises unto thy Name, O most Highest.
