How Great Are Your Works
A Psalm. A Song for the Sabbath.
1fIt is good to give thanks to the Lord,
to sing praises to your name, gO Most High;
2to declare your hsteadfast love in ithe morning,
and your hfaithfulness by inight,
3to the music of jthe lute and jthe harp,
to the melody of jthe lyre.
4For you, O Lord, have made me glad by your kwork;
at lthe works of your hands I sing for joy.
5How mgreat are your works, O Lord!
Your nthoughts are very odeep!
6The stupid man cannot know;
the fool cannot understand this:
7that though pthe wicked sprout like grass
and all qevildoers flourish,
they are doomed to destruction forever;
8but you, O Lord, are ron high forever.
9For behold, your enemies, O Lord,
for behold, your enemies shall perish;
all evildoers shall be sscattered.
10But you have exalted my thorn like that of uthe wild ox;
you have vpoured over me1 fresh oil.
11My weyes have seen the downfall of my enemies;
my ears have heard the doom of my evil assailants.
12xThe righteous flourish like the palm tree
and grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13They are planted in the house of the Lord;
they flourish in ythe courts of our God.
14They still bear fruit in old age;
they are ever full of sap and green,
15zto declare that the Lord is upright;
he is my arock, and there is bno unrighteousness in him.
