1 It is good to give thanks to the Lord, to sing praises to your name, Most High;
2 to proclaim your loyal love in the morning,your faithfulness at nighttime
3 with the ten-stringed harp,with the melody of the lyre
4 because you’ve made me happy, Lord,by your acts.I sing with joy because of your handiwork.
5 How awesome are your works, Lord!Your thoughts are so deep!
6 Ignorant people don’t know—fools don’t understand this:
7 though the wicked spring up like grassand all evildoers seem to blossom,they do so only to be destroyed forever.
