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 to the Lord, to sing praise to your name, O Most High,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The insensitive cannot know, nor can a fool understand,

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:

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

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

But you are exalted forever.

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

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

But you lift me to honour, and anoint me afresh with 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 eyes will feast on my foes, and my ears will hear of the doom of the wicked.

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

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

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

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

15 That they may shew, That the Lord our 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.
