It is good to thank the Lord And sing praises to the Highest, Showing mercy in the morning, Faithfulness through every night. With the strings and measured music, I rejoice in what You made. How profound are all Your counsels; Foolish hearts cannot perceive. Though the wicked spring like grass, They arise only to perish. But You, Lord, remain exalted Everlasting over all. The righteous flourishes like palm trees, Growing strong like cedar wood. Planted in the house of God, They bear fruit when they are old. They proclaim the Lord is upright, Rock in whom no wrong is found.
