Psalms 92

1 A psalm of a canticle on the sabbath day. It is good to give praise to the Lord: and to sing to thy name, O most High.

A Psalm, a Song, for the Sabbath day. It is good to give thanks unto Jehovah, and to sing psalms unto thy name, O Most High;

2 To shew forth thy mercy in the morning, and thy truth in the night:

To declare thy loving-kindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness in the nights,

3 Upon an instrument of ten strings, upon the psaltery: with a canticle upon the harp.

Upon an instrument of ten strings and upon the lute; upon the Higgaion with the harp.

4 For thou hast given me, O Lord, a delight in thy doings: and in the works of thy hands I shall rejoice.

For thou, Jehovah, hast made me glad through thy work; I will triumph in the works of thy hands.

5 O Lord, how great are thy works! thy thoughts are exceeding deep.

Jehovah, how great are thy works! Thy thoughts are very deep:

6 The senseless man shall not know: nor will the fool understand these things.

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

7 When the wicked shall spring up as grass: and all the workers of iniquity shall appear: That they may perish for ever and ever:

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

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

And thou, Jehovah, art on high for evermore.

9 For behold thy enemies, O Lord, for behold thy enemies shall perish: and all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

For lo, thine enemies, O Jehovah, for lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

10 But my horn shall be exalted like that of the unicorn: and my old age in plentiful mercy.

But my horn shalt thou exalt like a buffalo's: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.

11 My eye also hath looked down upon my enemies: and my ear shall hear of the downfall of the malignant that rise up against me.

And mine eye shall see [its desire] on mine enemies; mine ears shall hear [it] of the evil-doers that rise up against me.

12 The just shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow up like the cedar of Libanus.

The righteous shall shoot forth like a palm-tree; he shall grow like a cedar on Lebanon.

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

Those that are planted in the house of Jehovah shall flourish in the courts of our God:

14 They shall still increase in a fruitful old age: and shall be well treated,

They are still vigorous in old age, they are full of sap and green;

15 That they may shew, That the Lord our God is righteous, and there is no iniquity in him.

To shew that Jehovah is upright: [he is] my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
