Sing Praises to the Lord

t is wonderful to be grateful

and to sing your praises, Lord Most High!

2It is wonderful each morning to tell about your love

and at night to announce how faithful you are.

3I enjoy praising your name to the music of harps,

4because everything you do makes me happy,

and I sing joyful songs.

5You do great things, Lord. Your thoughts are too deep

6for an ignorant fool to know or understand.

7Though the wicked sprout and spread like grass,

they will be pulled up by their roots.

8But you will rule over all of us forever,

9and your hateful enemies will be scattered

and then destroyed.

10You have given me the strength of a wild ox,

and you have chosen me to be your very own.

11My eyes have seen, and my ears have heard

the doom and destruction of my evil enemies.

12Good people will prosper like palm trees,

and they will grow strong like the cedars of Lebanon.

13They will take root in your house, Lord God,

and they will do well.

14They will be like trees that stay healthy and fruitful,

even when they are old.

15And they will say about you,

“The Lord always does right!

God is our mighty rock.”
