[1] It is good to give thanks to the LORD And to sing praises to Your name, O Most High;
[2] To declare Your lovingkindness in the morning And Your faithfulness by night,
[3] With the ten-stringed lute and with the harp, With resounding music upon the lyre.
[4] For You, O LORD, have made me glad by what You have done, I will sing for joy at the works of Your hands.
[5] How great are Your works, O LORD! Your thoughts are very deep.
[6] A senseless man has no knowledge, Nor does a stupid man understand this:
[7] That when the wicked sprouted up like grass And all who did iniquity flourished, It was only that they might be destroyed forevermore.
[8] But You, O LORD, are on high forever.
[9] For, behold, Your enemies, O LORD, For, behold, Your enemies will perish; All who do iniquity will be scattered.
[10] But You have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox; I have been anointed with fresh oil.
[11] And my eye has looked exultantly upon my foes, My ears hear of the evildoers who rise up against me.
[12] The righteous man will flourish like the palm tree, He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
[13] Planted in the house of the LORD, They will flourish in the courts of our God.
[14] They will still yield fruit in old age; They shall be full of sap and very green,
[15] To declare that the LORD is upright; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.
