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 for the Sabbath-day.” It is a good thing to give thanks to the LORD, And to sing praises to thy name, O Most High!

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

To show forth thy loving-kindness in the morning, And thy faithfulness every night,

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

Upon the ten-stringed instrument and the lute, Upon the harp with a solemn sound.

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

For thou, LORD, hast made me glad by thy doings; In the works of thy hands I greatly rejoice!

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

How great are thy works, O LORD! How deep thy purposes!

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

But the unwise man knoweth not this, And the fool understandeth it not.

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 grass, And all who practise iniquity flourish, It is but to be destroyed for ever!

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

Thou, O LORD! art for ever exalted!

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

For, lo! thine enemies, O LORD! For, lo! thine enemies perish, And dispersed are all who do iniquity!

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

But my horn thou exaltest like the buffalo's; 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.

Mine eye hath gazed with joy upon mine enemies; Mine ears have heard with joy of my wicked adversaries.

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

The righteous shall flourish like the palm-tree; They shall grow up like the cedars of Lebanon;

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

Planted in the house of the LORD, They shall flourish in the courts of our God.

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

Even in old age they bring forth fruit; They are green, and full of sap;

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

To show that the LORD, my rock, is upright, That there is no unrighteousness in him.
