Psalms 92

1 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;

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,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

7 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.

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

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

But You, O LORD, are exalted forever!

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

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

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

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

11 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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