¹ ⓐ It is good to give thanks to the LORD, to sing praises to your name,ⓑ O Most High;

² to declare yourⓒ steadfast love inⓓ the morning, and yourⓔ faithfulness byⓕ night,

³ to the music ofⓖ the lute andⓗ the harp, to the melody ofⓘ the lyre.

⁴ For you, O LORD, have made me glad by yourⓙ work; atⓚ the works of your hands I sing for joy.

⁵ Howⓛ great are your works, O LORD! Yourⓜ thoughts are veryⓝ deep!

⁶ The stupid man cannot know; the fool cannot understand this:

⁷ that thoughⓞ the wicked sprout like grass and allⓟ evildoers flourish, they are doomed to destruction forever;

⁸ but you, O LORD, areⓠ on high forever.

⁹ For behold, your enemies, O LORD, for behold, your enemies shall perish; all evildoers shall beⓡ scattered.

¹⁰ But you have exalted myⓢ horn like that ofⓣ the wild ox; you haveⓤ poured over me[1] fresh oil.

¹¹ Myⓥ eyes have seen the downfall of my enemies; my ears have heard the doom of my evil assailants.

¹² ⓦ The righteous flourish like the palm tree and grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

¹³ They are planted in the house of the LORD; they flourish inⓧ the courts of our God.

¹⁴ They still bear fruit in old age; they are ever full of sap and green,

¹⁵ ⓨ to declare that the LORD is upright; he is myⓩ rock, and there isⓐ no unrighteousness in him.
