Praise for the Lord’s Goodness.

1 A Psalm, a Song for the Sabbath day.
It is (A)good to give thanks to the Lord
And to (B)sing praises to Your name, O Most High;
2
To (C)declare Your lovingkindness in the morning
And Your (D)faithfulness (a)by night,
3
(b)With the (E)ten-stringed lute and (c)with the (F)harp,
(d)With resounding music (e)upon the (G)lyre.
4
For You, O Lord, have made me glad by (f)what You (H)have done,
I will (I)sing for joy at the (J)works of Your hands.
5
How (K)great are Your works, O Lord!
Your (g)(L)thoughts are very (M)deep.
6
A (N)senseless man has no knowledge,
Nor does a (O)stupid man understand this:
7
That when the wicked (P)sprouted up like grass
And all (Q)who did iniquity flourished,
It was only that they might be (R)destroyed forevermore.
8
But You, O Lord, are (S)on high forever.
9
For, behold, Your enemies, O Lord,
For, behold, (T)Your enemies will perish;
All who do iniquity will be (U)scattered.
10
But You have exalted my (V)horn like that of the wild ox;
I have (h)been (W)anointed with fresh oil.
11
And my eye has (X)looked exultantly upon (i)my foes,
My ears hear of the evildoers who rise up against me.
12
The (Y)righteous man will (j)flourish like the palm tree,
He will grow like a (Z)cedar in Lebanon.
13
(AA)Planted in the house of the Lord,
They will flourish (AB)in the courts of our God.
14
They will still (k)(AC)yield fruit in old age;
They shall be (l)full of sap and very green,
15
To (m)declare that (AD)the Lord is upright;
He is my (AE)rock, and there is (AF)no unrighteousness in Him.
