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 your name, O you Most High;

A psalm. A song; for the sabbath day. It is good to give thanks to the Lord, to sing praise to your name, O Most High,

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

to declare your love in the morning, and your faithfulness in the night,

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

with voice and a ten-stringed harp, with music that throbs on the lyre.

4 For you, O Lord, have made me glad with your work: and in the operations of your hands will I exult.

For you make me glad by your deeds, Lord, at the work of your hands I will ring out my joy.

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

How great are your works, O Lord; how deep are your thoughts!

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

The insensitive cannot know, nor can a fool understand,

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.

that, though the wicked flourish like grass, and evildoers all blossom, they will perish forever.

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

But you are exalted forever.

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

For see! Your enemies, Lord For see! Your enemies perish, all evildoers are scattered.

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

But you lift me to honor, and anoint me afresh with oil.

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

My eyes will feast on my foes, and my ears will hear of the doom of the wicked.

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

The righteous will sprout like the palm, will grow like a cedar of Lebanon.

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

In the house of the Lord are they planted, in the courts of our God they will sprout.

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

They will still bear fruit in old age, all sappy and fresh will they be

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

So they proclaim the Lord to be just, my rock, in whom is no wrong.
