(A psalm and a song for the Sabbath.)

Sing Praises to the Lord

It is wonderful to be grateful
and to sing your praises,
    Lord Most High!
It is wonderful each morning
    to tell about your love
and at night to announce
    how faithful you are.
I enjoy praising your name
    to the music of harps,
because everything you do
makes me happy,
    and I sing joyful songs.

You do great things, Lord.
    Your thoughts are too deep
(A) for an ignorant fool
    to know or understand.
Though the wicked sprout
    and spread like grass,
they will be pulled up
    by their roots.
But you will rule
    over all of us forever,
and your hateful enemies
will be scattered
    and then destroyed.

10 You have given me
    the strength of a wild ox,
and you have chosen me
    to be your very own.
11 My eyes have seen,
    and my ears have heard
the doom and destruction
    of my evil enemies.

12 Good people will prosper
    like palm trees,
and they will grow strong
    like the cedars of Lebanon.
13 They will take root
in your house, Lord God,
    and they will do well.
14 They will be like trees
that stay healthy and fruitful,
    even when they are old.
15 And they will say about you,
“The Lord always does right!
    God is our mighty rock.”[a]
