Psalms 92:6
4 For You, O LORD, have made me glad by Your deeds; I sing for joy at the works of Your hands.
5 How great are Your works, O LORD, how deep are Your thoughts!
A senseless man does not know, and a fool does not understand,
7 that though the wicked sprout like grass, and all evildoers flourish, they will be forever destroyed.
8 But You, O LORD, are exalted forever!
