92 - Bonum est confiteri

1   It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, 🞙
    and to sing praises unto your Name, O Most High,

2   To tell of your loving-kindness early in the morning, 🞙
    and of your faithfulness in the night season,

3   Upon an instrument of ten strings and upon the lute, 🞙
    with the sound of melody upon the harp.

4   For you, Lord, have made me glad by your deeds, 🞙
    and I will shout for joy because of your handiwork.

5   O Lord, how glorious are your works; 🞙
    your thoughts are very deep.

6   The dull of heart does not consider this, 🞙
    and a fool does not understand it:

7   Though the ungodly are as green as the grass, and though all the workers of wickedness flourish, 🞙
    they shall be destroyed for ever; but you, Lord, are the Most High for evermore.

8   For lo, your enemies, O Lord, lo, your enemies shall perish, 🞙
    and all the workers of wickedness shall be destroyed.

9   But my horn shall be exalted like the horns of wild bulls; 🞙
    for I am anointed with fresh oil.

10  My eye also shall see its desire upon my enemies, 🞙
    and my ear shall hear with joy the end of the wicked who rise up against me.

11  The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree, 🞙
    and shall spread abroad like a cedar in Lebanon.

12  Those who are planted in the house of the Lord 🞙
    shall flourish in the courts of our God.

13  They also shall bring forth fruit in their old age, 🞙
    and shall be green and full of sap,

14  That they may show how upright the Lord is, 🞙
    my rock, in whom there is no unrighteousness.
