Psalms 92

1 A Canticle Psalm. On the day of the Sabbath. It is good to confess to the Lord and to sing psalms to your name, O Most High:

A Psalm, a Song. For the sabbath day. It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto Thy name, O Most High;

2 to announce your mercy in the morning, and your truth throughout the night,

To declare Thy lovingkindness in the morning, and Thy faithfulness in the night seasons,

3 upon the ten strings, upon the psaltery, with a canticle, upon stringed instruments.

With an instrument of ten strings, and with the psaltery; with a solemn sound upon the harp.

4 For you, O Lord, have delighted me with your doings, and I will exult in the works of your hands.

For Thou, LORD, hast made me glad through Thy work; I will exult in the works of Thy hands.

5 How great are your works, O Lord! Your thoughts have been made exceedingly deep.

How great are Thy works, O LORD! Thy thoughts are very deep.

6 A foolish man will not know these things, and a senseless one will not understand:

A brutish man knoweth not, neither doth a fool understand this.

7 when sinners will have risen up like grass, and when all those who work iniquity will have appeared, that they shall pass away, age after age.

When the wicked spring up as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they may be destroyed for ever.

8 But you, O Lord, are the Most High for all eternity.

But Thou, O LORD, art on high for evermore.

9 For behold your enemies, O Lord, for behold your enemies will perish, and all those who work iniquity will be dispersed.

For, lo, Thine enemies, O LORD, for, lo, Thine enemies shall perish: all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

10 And my horn will be exalted like that of the single-horned beast, and my old age will be exalted in fruitful mercy.

But my horn hast Thou exalted like the horn of the wild-ox; I am anointed with rich oil.

11 And my eye has looked down upon my enemies, and my ear will hear of the malignant rising up against me.

Mine eye also hath gazed on them that lie in wait for me, mine ears have heard my desire of the evil-doers that rise up against me.

12 The just one will flourish like the palm tree. He will be multiplied like the cedar of Lebanon.

The righteous shall flourish like the palm-tree; he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

13 Those planted in the house of the Lord will flourish in the courts of the house of our God.

Planted in the house of the LORD, they shall flourish in the courts of our God.

14 They will still be multiplied in a fruitful old age, and they will endure well,

They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be full of sap and richness;

15 so that they may announce that the Lord our God is righteous and that there is no iniquity in him.

To declare that the LORD is upright, my Rock, in whom there is no unrighteousness.
