Psalms 92

1 A Psalm. A song for the Sabbath day. It is good to praise the LORD, and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High,

A Psalm. A Song for the Sabbath. It is a good thing to give praise to the Lord, and to make melody to your name, O Most High;

2 to proclaim Your loving devotion in the morning and Your faithfulness at night

To make clear your mercy in the morning, and your unchanging faith every night;

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

On a ten-corded instrument, and on an instrument of music with a quiet sound.

4 For You, O LORD, have made me glad by Your deeds; I sing for joy at the works of Your hands.

For you, O Lord, have made me glad through your work; I will have joy in the works of your hands.

5 How great are Your works, O LORD, how deep are Your thoughts!

O Lord, how great are your works! and your thoughts are very deep.

6 A senseless man does not know, and a fool does not understand,

A man without sense has no knowledge of this; and a foolish man may not take it in.

7 that though the wicked sprout like grass, and all evildoers flourish, they will be forever destroyed.

When the sinners come up like the grass, and all the workers of evil do well for themselves, it is so that their end may be eternal destruction.

8 But You, O LORD, are exalted forever!

But you, O Lord, are on high for ever.

9 For surely Your enemies, O LORD, surely Your enemies will perish; all evildoers will be scattered.

For see! your haters, O Lord, will be put to death; all the workers of evil will be put to flight;

10 But You have exalted my horn like that of a wild ox; with fine oil I have been anointed.

But my horn is lifted up like the horn of the ox: the best oil is flowing on my head.

11 My eyes see the downfall of my enemies; my ears hear the wailing of my wicked foes.

My eyes have seen trouble come on my haters; my ears have news of the fate of the evil-doers who have come up against me.

12 The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, and grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

The good man will be like a tall tree in his strength; his growth will be as the wide-stretching trees of Lebanon.

13 Planted in the house of the LORD, they will flourish in the courts of our God.

Those who are planted in the house of the Lord will come up tall and strong in his gardens.

14 In old age they will still bear fruit; healthy and green they will remain,

They will give fruit even when they are old; they will be fertile and full of growth;

15 to proclaim, “The LORD is upright; He is my Rock, and in Him there is no unrighteousness.”

For a sign that the Lord is upright; he is my Rock, there is no deceit in him.
