IT IS GOOD TO GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD
Psalm 92:1-6
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 dullard cannot know, the stupid cannot understand this:
