1 It is good to give thanks to the LORD, to sing praises to your name, O Most High;2 to declare your steadfast love in the morning, and your faithfulness by night,3 to the music of the lute and the harp, to the melody of the lyre.4 For you, O LORD, have made me glad by your work; at the works of your hands I sing for joy.5 How great are your works, O LORD! Your thoughts are very deep!6 The dullard cannot know, the stupid cannot understand this:7 though the wicked sprout like grass and all evildoers flourish, they are doomed to destruction forever,8 but you, O LORD, are on high forever.9 For your enemies, O LORD, for your enemies shall perish; all evildoers shall be scattered.10 But you have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox; you have poured over me fresh oil.11 My eyes have seen the downfall of my enemies; my ears have heard the doom of my evil assailants.12 The righteous flourish like the palm tree, and grow like a cedar in Lebanon.13 They are planted in the house of the LORD; they flourish in the courts of our God.14 In old age they still produce fruit; they are always green and full of sap,15 showing that the LORD is upright; he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
