ThanksgivingSabbathFlourishingFaithfulness
1It is fitting to thank the Lord, and to sing praises to your name, O sovereign One!
2It is fitting to proclaim your loyal love in the morning, and your faithfulness during the night,
3to the accompaniment of a ten-stringed instrument and a lyre, to the accompaniment of the meditative tone of the harp.
4For you, O Lord, have made me happy by your work. I will sing for joy because of what you have done.
5How great are your works, O Lord! Your plans are very intricate!
6The spiritually insensitive do not recognize this; the fool does not understand this.
7When the wicked sprout up like grass, and all the evildoers glisten, it is so that they may be annihilated.
8But you, O Lord, reign forever!
9Indeed, look at your enemies, O Lord! Indeed, look at how your enemies perish! All the evildoers are scattered!
10You exalt my horn like that of a wild ox. I am covered with fresh oil.
11I gloat in triumph over those who tried to ambush me; I hear the defeated cries of the evil foes who attacked me.
12The godly grow like a palm tree; they grow high like a cedar in Lebanon.
13Planted in the Lord’s house, they grow in the courts of our God.
14They bear fruit even when they are old; they are filled with vitality and have many leaves.
15So they proclaim that the Lord, my protector, is just and never unfair.
