[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.
