1It is a good and delightful thing to give thanks to the Lord, To sing praises to Your name, O Most High, 2To declare Your lovingkindness in the morning And Your faithfulness by night, With an instrument of ten strings and with the harp, With a solemn sound on the lyre. 4For You, O Lord, have made me glad by Your works; At the works of Your hands I joyfully sing. 5How great are Your works, O Lord! Your thoughts are very deep [beyond man’s understanding].
