¹ How good it is to give thanks to you, O Lord,
    to sing in your honor, O Most High God,
² to proclaim your constant love every morning
    and your faithfulness every night,
³ with the music of stringed instruments
    and with melody on the harp.
⁴ Your mighty deeds, O Lord, make me glad;
    because of what you have done, I sing for joy.

⁵ How great are your actions, Lord!
    How deep are your thoughts!
^6 (a)This is something a fool cannot know;
    someone who is stupid cannot understand:
⁷ the wicked may grow like weeds,
    those who do wrong may prosper;
yet they will be totally destroyed,
⁸     because you, Lord, are supreme forever.

⁹ We know that your enemies will die,
    and all the wicked will be defeated.
¹⁰ You have made me as strong as a wild ox;
    you have blessed me with happiness.
¹¹ I have seen the defeat of my enemies
    and heard the cries of the wicked.

¹² The righteous will flourish like palm trees;
    they will grow like the cedars of Lebanon.
¹³ They are like trees planted in the house of the Lord,
    that flourish in the Temple of our God,
¹⁴     that still bear fruit in old age
    and are always green and strong.
¹⁵ This shows that the Lord is just,
    that there is no wrong in my protector.
