It is ^(C1)good to give thanks to the LORD And to ^(C2)sing praises to Your name, Most High;

To ^(C1)declare Your goodness in the morning And Your ^(C2)faithfulness by ^(F1)night,

^(F1)With the ^(C1)ten-stringed lute and ^(F1)with the ^(C1)harp, ^(F1)With resounding music on the ^(C1)lyre.

For You, LORD, have made me joyful by ^(F1)what You ^(C1)have done, I will ^(C2)sing for joy over the ^(C3)works of Your hands.

How ^(C1)great are Your works, LORD! Your ^(F1)(C2)thoughts are very ^(C3)deep.

A ^(C1)stupid person has no knowledge, Nor does a ^(C1)foolish person understand this:

When the wicked ^(C1)sprouted up like grass And all ^(C2)who did injustice flourished, It was only that they might be ^(C3)destroyed forevermore.

But You, LORD, are ^(C1)on high forever.

For, behold, Your enemies, LORD, For, behold, ^(C1)Your enemies will perish; All who do injustice will be ^(C2)scattered.

But You have exalted my ^(C1)horn like that of the wild ox; I have ^(F1)been ^(C2)anointed with fresh oil.

And my eye has ^(C1)looked at my enemies, My ears hear of the evildoers who rise up against me.

The ^(C1)righteous person will ^(F1)flourish like the palm tree, He will grow like a ^(C2)cedar in Lebanon.

^(C1)Planted in the house of the LORD, They will flourish ^(C2)in the courtyards of our God.

They will still ^(F1)(C1)yield fruit in advanced age; They will be ^(F2)full of sap and very green,

To ^(F1)declare that ^(C1)the LORD is just; He is my ^(C2)rock, and there is ^(C3)no malice in Him.

^(C1)The LORD ^(F1)reigns, He is ^(C2)clothed with majesty; The LORD has ^(C3)clothed and encircled Himself with strength. Indeed, the ^(C4)world is firmly established; it will not be moved.

Your ^(C1)throne is established from of old; You ^(C2)are from eternity.

The ^(C1)floods have lifted up, LORD, The floods have lifted up their voice, The floods lift up their pounding waves.

More than the sounds of many waters, Than the mighty breakers of the sea, The LORD ^(C1)on high is mighty.

Your ^(C1)testimonies are fully confirmed; ^(C2)Holiness is pleasing to Your house, LORD, ^(F1)forevermore.
