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 day. How good it is to thank the Lord, to sing praises to you, Most High,

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

to tell of your trustworthy love in the morning, and your faithfulness in the night,

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

to the music of a ten-stringed harp and the melody of a lyre.

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

You've made me so happy, Lord, because of all you've done for me! I sing for joy at what you've done!

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

Lord, what you do is amazing; your thoughts are very profound!

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

Only senseless people and fools don't know and understand this:

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

even though the wicked grow up quickly like grass, and even though people who do evil flourish, they will be destroyed forever!

8 But You, O LORD, are exalted forever!

But you, Lord, rule on high forever.

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

Your enemies, Lord, your enemies will die; everyone who does evil will be destroyed!

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

But you have made me as powerful as a wild bull; you have anointed me with the best olive oil.

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

My eyes look with pleasure to see my enemies defeated; my ears have heard the downfall of those who tried to attack me.

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

Those who live right flourish like a palm tree; they grow tall like a cedar tree in Lebanon.

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

They are planted in the house of the Lord; they thrive in the courts of our God.

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

Even when they are old they will still produce fruit, staying fresh and green.

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

They will declare, “The Lord does what is right! He is my rock! There is no wrong in him!”
