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.

It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy Name, O most High:

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

To show forth your loving kindness in the morning, and your faithfulness every night,

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

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

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

For you, LORD, have made me glad through your work: I will triumph in the works of your hands.

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

O LORD, how great are your works! and your thoughts are very deep.

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

A brutish man knows not; neither does a fool understand this.

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 do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever:

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

But you, LORD, are most high for ever more.

9 For behold thy enemies, O Lord, for behold thy 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 like that of the unicorn: and my old age in plentiful mercy.

But my horn shall you exalt like the horn of an unicorn: 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.

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 just shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow up like the cedar of 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 the house of our God.

Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.

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

They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;

15 That they may shew, That the Lord our 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.
