1 It is good to praise the Lord
and make music to your name, O Most
High,
2 proclaiming your love in the
morning
and your faithfulness at night,
3 to the music of the ten-stringed
lyre
and the melody of the harp.
4 For you make me
glad by your deeds, Lord;
I sing for joy at what your hands have
done.
5 How great are your works, Lord,
how profound your thoughts!
6 Senseless people do not
know,
fools do not understand,
7 that though the wicked spring up like
grass
and all evildoers flourish,
they will be destroyed forever.
8 But you, Lord, are forever exalted.
9 For surely your
enemies, Lord,
surely your enemies will perish;
all evildoers will be scattered.
10 You have exalted my horn[b] like
that of a wild ox;
fine oils have been poured on
me.
11 My eyes have seen the defeat of my
adversaries;
my ears have heard the rout of my wicked
foes.
12 The righteous
will flourish like a palm tree,
they will grow like a cedar of
Lebanon;
13 planted in the house of
the Lord,
they will flourish in the courts of our
God.
14 They will still bear fruit in old
age,
they will stay fresh and green,
15 proclaiming, “The Lord is upright;
he is my Rock, and there is no wickedness in
him.”
