1 It is good to give thanks to the Lord,

to sing praise to your name, Most High,i

2 to declare your faithful love in the morning

and your faithfulness at night,j

3 with a ten-stringed harpA

and the music of a lyre.k

4 For you have made me rejoice, Lord,

by what you have done;

I will shout for joy

because of the works of your hands.l

5 How magnificent are your works, Lord,

how profound your thoughts!m

6 A stupid person does not know,

a fool does not understand this:n

7 though the wicked sprout like grass*

and all evildoers flourish,

they will be eternally destroyed.o
