Thanksgiving for Vindication A Psalm. A Song for the Sabbath Day. 1It is good to give thanks to the Lord, to sing praises to your name, O Most High;2to declare your steadfast love in the morning, and your faithfulness by night,3to the music of the lute and the harp, to the melody of the lyre.4For you, O Lord, have made me glad by your work; at the works of your hands I sing for joy. 5How great are your works, O Lord! Your thoughts are very deep!6The dullard cannot know, the stupid cannot understand this:7though the wicked sprout like grass and all evildoers flourish, they are doomed to destruction forever,8but you, O Lord, are on high forever.9For your enemies, O Lord, for your enemies shall perish; all evildoers shall be scattered. 10But you have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox; you have poured over me fresh oil.11My eyes have seen the downfall of my enemies; my ears have heard the doom of my evil assailants. 12The righteous flourish like the palm tree, and grow like a cedar in Lebanon.13They are planted in the house of the Lord; they flourish in the courts of our God.14In old age they still produce fruit; they are always green and full of sap,15showing that the Lord is upright; he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
