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 of a canticle on the sabbath day. It is good to give praise to the Lord: and to sing to thy name, O most High.

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

To shew forth thy mercy in the morning, and thy truth in the night:

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

Upon an instrument of ten strings, upon the psaltery: with a canticle upon the harp.

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

For thou hast given me, O Lord, a delight in thy doings: and in the works of thy hands I shall rejoice.

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

O Lord, how great are thy works! thy thoughts are exceeding deep.

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

The senseless man shall not know: nor will the fool understand these things.

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.

When the wicked shall spring up as grass: and all the workers of iniquity shall appear: That they may perish for ever and ever:

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

But thou, O Lord, art most high for evermore.

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

For behold thy enemies, O Lord, for behold thy enemies shall perish: and all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

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

But my horn shall be exalted like that of the unicorn: and my old age in plentiful mercy.

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 eye also hath looked down upon my enemies: and my ear shall hear of the downfall of the malignant that rise up against me.

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 just shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow up like the cedar of Libanus.

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

They that are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of the house of our God.

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

They shall still increase in a fruitful old age: and shall be well treated,

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

That they may shew, That the Lord our God is righteous, and there is no iniquity in him.
