1 How good it is to thank the LORD, to praise your name with tuneful chord, 2 to show your love with morning light and tell your faithfulness each night. 3 Yes, it is good your praise to sing and all our sweetest music bring. 4 O LORD, my song with joy expands before the wonders of your hands. 5 How great the works that you have wrought; how deep, O LORD, your every thought! You make me glad; I sing your praise for all your wondrous works and ways. 6-7 Though as the grass the wicked grow, those evildoers do not know the endless ruin they will see. 8 But God will reign eternally. 9 All foes will fall before his might; the wicked shall be put to flight. 10 O LORD, you have exalted me with royal strength and dignity. With your anointing I am blest; your grace and favor on me rest. 11 My eyes have seen the wicked die; my ears have heard their hopeless cry. 12 The righteous all will flourish well and in the house of God will dwell. 13 They will be planted like a tree, 14 will still in old age fruitful be. 15 The LORD our God is upright, just; he is my Rock; in him I trust. – Psalter, 1912, alt. Psalter Hymnal
