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 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 devotion in the morning and Your faithfulness at night

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

3 with the ten-stringed harp and 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, O LORD, have made me glad by Your deeds; I sing for joy at 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, O LORD, how deep are Your thoughts!

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

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

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

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

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, O LORD, are exalted forever!

But thou art exalted to eternity, O Lord!

9 For surely Your enemies, O LORD, surely Your enemies will perish; all 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 a wild ox; with fine oil I have been anointed.

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

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

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 will flourish like a palm tree, and 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 Planted in the house of the LORD, they will flourish in the courts of our God.

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

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

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

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

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