3 On an instrument of ten strings, On the lute, And on the harp, With harmonious sound.

4 For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.
5 O Lord, how great are Your works! Your thoughts are very deep.
5 O LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep.
6 A senseless man does not know, Nor does a fool understand this.

7 When the wicked spring up like grass, And when all the workers of iniquity flourish, It is that they may be destroyed forever.
