1It is a good thing to give thanks to LORD, and to sing praises to thy name, O Most High, 2to show forth thy loving kindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night, 3with an instrument of ten strings, and with the psaltery, with a solemn sound upon the harp. 4For thou, LORD, have made me glad through thy work. I will triumph in the works of thy hands. 5How great are thy works, O LORD! Thy thoughts are very deep. 6A brutish man knows not, nor does a fool understand this. 7When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity flourish, it is that they shall be destroyed forever, 8but thou, O LORD, are on high for evermore. 9For, lo, thine enemies, O LORD, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish. All the workers of iniquity shall be scattered. 10But thou have exalted my horn like the wild ox's. I am anointed with fresh oil, 11and my eye has seen my enemies. My ears have heard of the evil-doers who rise up against me. 12A righteous man shall flourish like the palm tree. He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. 13Men who are planted in the house of LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God. 14They shall still bring forth fruit in old age. They shall be full of sap and green 15to show that LORD is upright. He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
