1. It is good to give thanks to the Lord,to sing praises to your name, O Most High;
2. to declare your steadfast love in the morning,and your faithfulness by night,
3. to the music of the lute and the harp,to the melody of the lyre.
4. For you, O Lord, have made me glad by your work;at the works of your hands I sing for joy.
5. How great are your works, O Lord!Your thoughts are very deep!
6. The stupid man cannot know;the fool cannot understand this:
7. that though the wicked sprout like grassand all evildoers flourish,they are doomed to destruction forever;
