The Heavens Declare (19)

`It is a good thing_ to give thanks_ / to the LORD,

to `sing_ praises to your name_, / Most~ High,

`to proclaim your loving kindness / in the morning,

`and your faithfulness_ / ev’ry night,

`with the ten-stringed lute_, / with the harp,

and `with the melody_ / of the lyre.

For `you_, LORD, have made me glad_ / through your work.

`I will sing for joy_ at the works_ / of your hands.

(Ref)

How `great_ are your / works~, LORD!

Your `thoughts are / very deep.

A `senseless person / does not know,

`neither does a fool_ under / stand~ this:

`though the wicked spring up / as the grass,

and `all the evil / doers flourish,

`they will be de / stroyed forever. 

But `you, LORD, are on high for / ever more.

`Surely your_ enemies, LORD, surely your_ ene / mies shall perish.

`All the evildoers / will be scattered.

But `you_ have exalted my horn like that of the / wild ox.

`I_ am anointed / with fresh oil. +

My `eye has also seen my / enemies.

My `ears have heard_ of the wicked enemies who rise_  / up against me.

(Ref)

The `righteous shall_ flourish like the / palm~ tree.

`They will grow_ like a cedar in_ / Lebanon.

`They are planted in the house_ / of the LORD.

`They will flourish in the courts_ / of our God.

`They will still bear fruit in / old~ age.

`They will be_ full of / sap and green,

`to declare_ that the / LORD is upright.

`He_ is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness_ / in~ him.
