[1] It is good to give thanks to the LORD, to sing praise to your name, Most High, [2] to declare your faithful love in the morning and your faithfulness at night, [3] with a ten-stringed harp and the music of a lyre. [4] For you have made me rejoice, LORD, by what you have done; I will shout for joy because of the works of your hands. [5] How magnificent are your works, LORD, how profound your thoughts! [6] A stupid person does not know, a fool does not understand this: [7] though the wicked sprout like grass and all evildoers flourish, they will be eternally destroyed. [8] But you, LORD, are exalted forever. [9] For indeed, LORD, your enemies- indeed, your enemies will perish; all evildoers will be scattered. [10] You have lifted up my horn like that of a wild ox; I have been anointed with the finest oil. [11] My eyes look at my enemies; when evildoers rise against me, my ears hear them. [12] The righteous thrive like a palm tree and grow like a cedar tree in Lebanon. [13] Planted in the house of the LORD, they thrive in the courts of our God. [14] They will still bear fruit in old age, healthy and green, [15] to declare, "The LORD is just; he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him."
