1It is good to give thanks to the LORD, to sing praises to your name, O Most High; (Rdz 14,19; Rdz 14,20; Ps 71,22; Ps 147,1)2to declare your steadfast love in the morning, and your faithfulness by night, (Ps 36,5; Ps 119,147; Ps 119,148)3to the music of the lute and the harp, to the melody of the lyre. (Ps 33,2)4For you, O LORD, have made me glad by your work; at the works of your hands I sing for joy. (Ps 8,6; Ps 90,16)5How great are your works, O LORD! Your thoughts are very deep! (Ps 40,5; Ps 111,2; Ps 139,17; Rz 11,33; Ap 15,3)6The stupid man cannot know; the fool cannot understand this:7that though the wicked sprout like grass and all evildoers flourish, they are doomed to destruction forever; (Job 21,7; Ps 94,4; Ps 125,5)8but you, O LORD, are on high forever. (Ps 93,4)9For behold, your enemies, O LORD, for behold, your enemies shall perish; all evildoers shall be scattered. (Ps 68,1)10But you have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox; you have poured over me[1] fresh oil. (Lb 23,22; 1 Sm 2,1; Ps 23,5; Ps 75,10)11My eyes have seen the downfall of my enemies; my ears have heard the doom of my evil assailants. (Ps 37,34; Ps 54,7)12The righteous flourish like the palm tree and grow like a cedar in Lebanon. (Lb 24,6; Ps 1,3; Ps 52,8; Ps 72,7; Przyp 11,28; Iz 61,3)13They are planted in the house of the LORD; they flourish in the courts of our God. (Ps 100,4; Ps 116,19; Ps 135,2)14They still bear fruit in old age; they are ever full of sap and green,15to declare that the LORD is upright; he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him. (Job 34,10; Ps 18,2; Ps 58,11)
