2to proclaim your loving kindness in the morning, and your faithfulness every night,
3with the ten-stringed lute, with the harp, and with the melody of the lyre.
4For you, LORD, have made me glad through your work. I will triumph in the works of your hands.
5How great are your works, LORD! Your thoughts are very deep.
