< 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,
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 devotion in the morning and Your faithfulness at night
To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,
3 with the ten-stringed harp and the melody of the lyre.
Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound.
4 For You, O LORD, have made me glad by Your deeds; I sing for joy at the works of Your hands.
For thou, Lord, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.
5 How great are Your works, O LORD, how deep are Your thoughts!
O Lord, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep.
6 A senseless man does not know, and a fool does not understand,
A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this.
7 that though the wicked sprout like grass, and all evildoers flourish, they will be forever destroyed.
When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever:
8 But You, O LORD, are exalted forever!
But thou, Lord, art most high for evermore.
9 For surely Your enemies, O LORD, surely Your enemies will perish; all evildoers will be scattered.
For, lo, thine enemies, O Lord, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
10 But You have exalted my horn like that of a wild ox; with fine oil I have been anointed.
But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.
11 My eyes see the downfall of my enemies; my ears hear the wailing of my wicked foes.
Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies, and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me.
12 The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, and grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13 Planted in the house of the LORD, they will flourish in the courts of our God.
Those that be planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God.
14 In old age they will still bear fruit; healthy and green they will remain,
They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;
15 to proclaim, “The LORD is upright; He is my Rock, and in Him there is no unrighteousness.”
To shew that the Lord is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
