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 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 devotion in the morning and Your faithfulness at night

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

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

Upon the ten-stringed instrument and the lute, 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 by thy doings; In the works of thy hands I greatly rejoice!

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

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

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

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

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

When the wicked spring up like grass, And all who practise iniquity flourish, It is but to be destroyed for ever!

8 But You, O LORD, are exalted forever!

Thou, O LORD! art for ever exalted!

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 perish, And dispersed are all who do iniquity!

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

But my horn thou exaltest like the buffalo's; I am anointed with fresh oil.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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