Psalms 92

1 A Psalm of a Song for the Sabbath-day. It is a good thing to give thanks to the Lord, and to sing praises to thy name, O thou Most High;

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;

2 to proclaim thy mercy in the morning, and thy truth by night,

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

3 on a psaltery of ten strings, with a song on the harp.

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

4 For thou, O Lord, hast made me glad with thy work: and in the operations of thy hands will I exult.

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

5 How have thy works been magnified, O Lord! thy thoughts are very deep.

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

6 A foolish man will not know, and a senseless man will not understand this.

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

7 When the sinners spring up as the grass, and all the workers of iniquity have watched; [it is] that they may be utterly destroyed for ever.

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.

8 But thou, O Lord, art most high for ever.

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

9 For, behold, thine enemies shall perish; and all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

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

10 But my horn shall be exalted [as the horn] of a unicorn; and mine old age with rich mercy.

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

11 And mine eye has seen mine enemies, and mine ear shall hear the wicked that rise up against me.

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.

12 The righteous shall flourish as a palm-tree: he shall be increased as the cedar in Libanus.

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

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

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

14 Then shall they be increased in a fine old age; and they shall be prosperous; that they may declare

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

15 that the Lord my God is righteous, and there is no iniquity in him.

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