1 It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High:
-
2 To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,
-
3 Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound.
-
4 For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.
-
5 O LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep.
-
6 A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this.
-
7 When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever:
-
8 But thou, LORD, art most high for evermore.
-
9 For, lo, thine enemies, O LORD, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
-
10 But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.
-
11 Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies, and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me.
-
12 The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
-
13 Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.
-
14 They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;
-
15 To shew that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

- 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.
