3accompanied by a ten-stringed instrument, a harp, and the melody of a lyre. 4You thrill me, Lord, with all you have done for me! I sing for joy because of what you have done. O Lord, what great works you do! And how deep are your thoughts. 6Only a simpleton would not know, and only a fool would not understand this: 7Though the wicked sprout like weeds and evildoers flourish, they will be destroyed forever.
