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 a good thing to give thanks to the LORD, to sing praises to your name, Most High,

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

to proclaim your loving kindness in the morning, and your faithfulness every night,

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

with the ten-stringed lute, with the harp, and with the melody of 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, LORD, have made me glad through your work. I will triumph in the works of your hands.

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

How great are your works, LORD! Your thoughts are very deep.

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

A senseless man doesn’t know, 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.

though the wicked spring up as the grass, and all the evildoers flourish, they will be destroyed forever.

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

But you, LORD, are on high forever more.

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

For behold, your enemies, LORD, for behold, your enemies shall perish. All the evildoers will be scattered.

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

But you have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox. I am 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 has also seen my enemies. My ears have heard of the wicked enemies who 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 will 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.

They are planted in the LORD’s house. They will flourish in our God’s courts.

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

They will still produce fruit in old age. They will be full of sap and green,

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.
