- 1It is a good thing to give thanks to the Lord, to sing praises to your name, Most High;
- 2to proclaim your loving kindness in the morning, and your faithfulness every night,
- 3with the ten-stringed lute, with the harp, and with the melody of the lyre.
- 4For you, the Lord, have made me glad through your work. I will triumph in the works of your hands.
- 5How great are your works, the Lord! Your thoughts are very deep.
- 6A senseless man doesn’t know, neither does a fool understand this:
- 7though the wicked spring up as the grass, and all the evildoers flourish, they will be destroyed forever.
- 8But you, the Lord, are on high forever more.
- 9For, behold, your enemies, the Lord, for, behold, your enemies shall perish. All the evildoers will be scattered.
- 10But you have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox. I am anointed with fresh oil.
- 11My eye has also seen my enemies. My ears have heard of the wicked enemies who rise up against me.
- 12The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree. He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
- 13They are planted in the Lord’s house. They will flourish in our God’s courts.
- 14They will still produce fruit in old age. They will be full of sap and green,
- 15to show that the Lord is upright. He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
