^1 (a)It is good to give thanks to the Lord,
    to sing praises to your name, ^(b)O Most High;
² to declare your ^(c)steadfast love in ^(d)the morning,
    and your ^(e)faithfulness by ^(f)night,
³ to the music of ^(g)the lute and ^(h)the harp,
    to the melody of ⁽ⁱ⁾the lyre.
⁴ For you, O Lord, have made me glad by your ^(j)work;
    at ^(k)the works of your hands I sing for joy.

⁵ How ^(l)great are your works, O Lord!
    Your ^(m)thoughts are very ⁽ⁿ⁾deep!
⁶ The stupid man cannot know;
    the fool cannot understand this:
⁷ that though ^(o)the wicked sprout like grass
    and all ^(p)evildoers flourish,
they are doomed to destruction forever;
⁸     but you, O Lord, are ^(q)on high forever.
⁹ For behold, your enemies, O Lord,
    for behold, your enemies shall perish;
    all evildoers shall be ^(r)scattered.

¹⁰ But you have exalted my ^(s)horn like that of ^(t)the wild ox;
    you have ^(u)poured over me^[a] fresh oil.
¹¹ My ^(v)eyes have seen the downfall of my enemies;
    my ears have heard the doom of my evil assailants.

^12 (w)The righteous flourish like the palm tree
    and grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
¹³ They are planted in the house of the Lord;
    they flourish in ^(x)the courts of our God.
¹⁴ They still bear fruit in old age;
    they are ever full of sap and green,
^15 (y)to declare that the Lord is upright;
    he is my ^(z)rock, and there is ^(aa)no unrighteousness in him.
