Psalms 92

1 A Psalm. A song for the Sabbath day. It is a good thing to give thanks to the LORD, to sing praises to your name, Most High,

“A psalm or song for the sabbath day.” It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O Most High:

2 to proclaim your loving kindness in the morning, and your faithfulness every night,

To tell in the morning of thy kindness, and of thy faithfulness in the nights.

3 with the ten-stringed lute, with the harp, and with the melody of the lyre.

Upon a ten-stringed instrument, and upon the psaltery; and with the sweet sound of the harp.

4 For you, LORD, have made me glad through your work. I will triumph in the works of your hands.

For thou hast caused me to rejoice, O Lord, through thy doing: because of the works of thy hands will I triumph.

5 How great are your works, LORD! Your thoughts are very deep.

How great are thy works, O Lord! exceedingly profound are thy thoughts.

6 A senseless man does not know, neither does a fool understand this:

A brutish man knoweth it not, and a fool cannot understand this.

7 though the wicked spring up as the grass, and all the evildoers flourish, they will be destroyed forever.

When the wicked spring up like herbs, and when all the workers of wickedness do flourish; it is that they may be destroyed evermore.

8 But you, LORD, are on high forever more.

But thou art exalted to eternity, O Lord!

9 For behold, your enemies, LORD, for behold, your enemies shall perish. All the evildoers will be scattered.

For, lo, thy enemies, O Lord, for, lo, thy enemies shall perish: all the workers of wickedness shall be scattered.

10 But you have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox. I am anointed with fresh oil.

But thou exaltest my horn like that of a reem: I am anointed with fresh oil.

11 My eye has also seen my enemies. My ears have heard of the wicked enemies who rise up against me.

And my eye looketh on [the punishment of] those that regard me with envy: of the evildoers that rise up against me my ears shall bear it.

12 The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree. He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

The righteous shall spring up like the palm-tree: like a cedar in Lebanon shall he grow high.

13 They are planted in the LORD’s house. They will flourish in our God’s courts.

Planted in the house of the Lord, in the courts of our God shall they spring up.

14 They will still produce fruit in old age. They will be full of sap and green,

They shall still flourish in high old age; they shall be vigorous and covered with foliage;

15 to show that the LORD is upright. He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

To declare that the Lord is upright: he is my rock, and there is no faultiness in him.
