1  ^fIt is good to give thanks to the Lord,

to sing praises to your name, ^gO Most High;

2  to declare your ^hsteadfast love in ⁱthe morning,

and your ^hfaithfulness by ⁱnight,

3  to the music of ^jthe lute and ^jthe harp,

to the melody of ^jthe lyre.

4  For you, O Lord, have made me glad by your ^kwork;

at ^lthe works of your hands I sing for joy.

12  ^xThe righteous flourish like the palm tree

and grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

13  They are planted in the house of the Lord;

they flourish in ^ythe courts of our God.

14  They still bear fruit in old age;

they are ever full of sap and green,

15  ^zto declare that the Lord is upright;

he is my ^arock, and there is ^bno unrighteousness in him.
