< 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;
It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy Name, O most High:
2 to proclaim thy mercy in the morning, and thy truth by night,
To show forth your loving kindness in the morning, and your faithfulness every night,
3 on a psaltery of ten strings, with a song on the harp.
On an instrument of ten strings, and on the psaltery; on the harp with a solemn 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, LORD, have made me glad through your work: I will triumph 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 brutish man knows not; neither does a fool understand this.
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 wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever:
8 But thou, O Lord, art most high for ever.
But you, LORD, are most high for ever more.
9 For, behold, thine enemies shall perish; and all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
For, see, your enemies, O LORD, for, see, your enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
10 But my horn shall be exalted [as the horn] of a unicorn; and mine old age with rich mercy.
But my horn shall you exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.
11 And mine eye has seen mine enemies, and mine ear shall hear the wicked that rise up against me.
My eye also shall see my desire on my enemies, and my ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me.
12 The righteous shall flourish as a palm-tree: he shall be increased as the cedar in Libanus.
The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13 They that are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God.
Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.
14 Then shall they be increased in a fine old age; and they shall be prosperous; that they may declare
They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;
15 that the Lord my God is righteous, and there is no iniquity in him.
To show that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
