1 It is wonderful to be gratefuland to sing your praises,Lord Most High!
2 It is wonderful each morningto tell about your loveand at night to announcehow faithful you are.
3 I enjoy praising your nameto the music of harps,
4 because everything you domakes me happy,and I sing joyful songs.
5 You do great things, Lord.Your thoughts are too deep
6 for an ignorant foolto know or understand.
7 Though the wicked sproutand spread like grass,they will be pulled upby their roots.
8 But you will ruleover all of us forever,
9 and your hateful enemieswill be scatteredand then destroyed.
10 You have given methe strength of a wild ox,and you have chosen meto be your very own.
11 My eyes have seen,and my ears have heardthe doom and destructionof my evil enemies.
12 Good people will prosperlike palm trees,and they will grow stronglike the cedars of Lebanon.
13 They will take rootin your house, Lord God,and they will do well.
14 They will be like treesthat stay healthy and fruitful,even when they are old.
15 And they will say about you,“The Lord always does right!God is our mighty rock.”
