How Great Are Your Works!

A Psalm. A song for the Sabbath day.

It is good to praise the LORD,

and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High,

2 

to proclaim Your loving devotion in the morning

and Your faithfulness at night

3 

with the ten-stringed harp

and the melody of the lyre.

4 

For You, O LORD, have made me glad by Your deeds;

I sing for joy at the works of Your hands.

5 

How great are Your works, O LORD,

how deep are Your thoughts!

6 

A senseless man does not know,

and a fool does not understand

7 

that though the wicked sprout like grass,

and all evildoers flourish,

they will be forever destroyed.

8 

But You, O LORD, are exalted forever

9 

For surely Your enemies, O LORD,

vvv surely Your enemies will perish;

all evildoers will be scattered.

10 

But You have exalted my horn like that of a wild ox;

with fine oil I have been anointed.

11 

My eyes see the downfall of my enemies;

my ears hear the wailing of my wicked foes.[fn]

12 

The righteous will flourish like a palm tree,

and grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

13 

Planted in the house of the LORD,

they will flourish in the courts of our God.

14 

In old age they will still bear fruit;

healthy and green they will remain,

15 

to proclaim“The LORD [is] upright; He is my Rock,

and in Him there is no unrighteousness.”
