1 It is good to thank the LORD and to make music to your name, O Most High,
2 to proclaim your steadfast love in the morning and your faithfulness in the nights,
3 on the ten strings and on the harp, to the sound of the lyre.
4 For you have made me glad, O LORD, by what you have done; I will shout for joy at the works of your hands.
5 How great are your deeds, O LORD! Your plans go very deep.
6 A senseless man cannot know, and a fool cannot grasp this:
7 when the wicked spring up like grass and all who do iniquity blossom, it is that they may be destroyed for all time.
8 But you are on high forever, O LORD.
9 For see, your enemies, O LORD, see, your enemies will perish; all who do iniquity will be scattered.
10 But you have raised my horn like the wild ox's; I am anointed with fresh oil.
11 My eye has looked down on my watchful foes; my ears have heard about the evildoers who rise against me.
12 The righteous will blossom like the palm; like a cedar in Lebanon he will grow tall.
13 Those planted in the house of the LORD will blossom in the courts of our God.
14 Even in old age they will still yield fruit; they will be rich and green,
15 to make known that the LORD is upright; he is my rock, and there is no wrong in him.
