1. How good it is to give thanks to you, O Lord,to sing in your honour, O Most High God,
2. to proclaim your constant love every morningand your faithfulness every night,
3. with the music of stringed instrumentsand 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. This is something a fool cannot know;a stupid person 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 for ever.
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 enemiesand heard the cries of the wicked.
