3with a ten-stringed harp and the music of a lyre. 4For you have made me rejoice, Lord, by what you have done; I will shout for joy because of the works of your hands. How magnificent are your works, Lord, how profound your thoughts! 6A stupid person does not know, a fool does not understand this: 7though the wicked sprout like grass and all evildoers flourish, they will be eternally destroyed.
