3to the music of the ten-stringed lyre and the melody of the harp. 4For you make me glad by your deeds, Lord; I sing for joy at what your hands have done. How great are your works, Lord, how profound your thoughts! 6Senseless people do not know, fools do not understand, 7that though the wicked spring up like grass and all evildoers flourish, they will be destroyed forever.
