It is ^(C1)good to give thanks to the LORD And to ^(C2)sing praises to Your name, Most High;

To ^(C1)declare Your goodness in the morning And Your ^(C2)faithfulness by ^(F1)night,

^(F1)With the ^(C1)ten-stringed lute and ^(F1)with the ^(C1)harp, ^(F1)With resounding music on the ^(C1)lyre.

For You, LORD, have made me joyful by ^(F1)what You ^(C1)have done, I will ^(C2)sing for joy over the ^(C3)works of Your hands.

How ^(C1)great are Your works, LORD! Your ^(F1)(C2)thoughts are very ^(C3)deep.

A ^(C1)stupid person has no knowledge, Nor does a ^(C1)foolish person understand this:

When the wicked ^(C1)sprouted up like grass And all ^(C2)who did injustice flourished, It was only that they might be ^(C3)destroyed forevermore.

But You, LORD, are ^(C1)on high forever.

For, behold, Your enemies, LORD, For, behold, ^(C1)Your enemies will perish; All who do injustice will be ^(C2)scattered.

But You have exalted my ^(C1)horn like that of the wild ox; I have ^(F1)been ^(C2)anointed with fresh oil.

And my eye has ^(C1)looked at my enemies, My ears hear of the evildoers who rise up against me.

The ^(C1)righteous person will ^(F1)flourish like the palm tree, He will grow like a ^(C2)cedar in Lebanon.

^(C1)Planted in the house of the LORD, They will flourish ^(C2)in the courtyards of our God.

They will still ^(F1)(C1)yield fruit in advanced age; They will be ^(F2)full of sap and very green,

To ^(F1)declare that ^(C1)the LORD is just; He is my ^(C2)rock, and there is ^(C3)no malice in Him.
