Voices of Praise ‎#390a

390a. It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord

1 It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord: and to sing praises unto Thy Name O Most High.
2 To shew forth Thy lovingkindness in the morning: and Thy faithfulness every night.
3 Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery: upon the harp with a solemn sound.
4 For Thou, Lord, hast made me glad through Thy works: I will triumph in the works of Thy hands.
5 O Lord, how great are Thy works: and Thy thoughts are very deep.
6 A brutish man knoweth not: neither doth a fool understand this,
7 When the wicked spring as the grass and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish: it is that they shall be destroyed forever.
8 But Thou O Lord: art most high forevermore.
9 For lo Thine enemies O Lord: for lo Thine enemies shall perish.
10 For all the workers: of iniquity shall be scattered.
11 But my horn shalt Thou exalt like the horn of a unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.
12 Mine eyes also shall see my desire on mine enemies: and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me.
13 The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
14 Those that he planted in the house of the Lord: shall flourish in the courts of our God.
15 They shall still bring forth fruit in old age: they shall be fat and flourishing.
16 To show that the Lord is upright: He is my Rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.
GLORY BE, &c.
