Praise to the Lord for His Love and Faithfulness
A Psalm. A Song for the Sabbath day.
1 Itisgood to give thanks to theLord,
And to sing praises to Your name, O Most High;
2 Todeclare Your lovingkindness in the morning,
And Your faithfulness every night,
3 On an instrument of ten strings,
On the lute,
And on the harp,
With harmonious sound.
4 For You,Lord, have made me glad through Your work;
I will triumph in the works of Your hands.
5 OLord, how great are Your works!
# Your thoughts are very deep.
6 A senseless man does not know,
Nor does a fool understand this.
7 Whenthe wicked spring up like grass,
And when all the workers of iniquity flourish,
Itisthat they may be destroyed forever.
8 But You,Lord,areon high forevermore.
9 For behold, Your enemies, OLord,
For behold, Your enemies shall perish;
# All the workers of iniquity shallbe scattered.
10 Butmy horn You have exalted like a wild ox;
# I have beenanointed with fresh oil.
11 My eye also has seenmydesireon my enemies;
My ears hearmydesireon the wicked
Who rise up against me.
12 The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree,
He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13 Those who are planted in the house of theLord
Shall flourish in the courts of our God.
14 They shall still bear fruit in old age;
They shall be fresh and flourishing,
15 To declare that theLordis upright;
# Heismy rock, andthereisno unrighteousness in Him.
