Psalms 92
1 A psalm. A song for the Sabbath day. How good it is to thank the Lord, to sing praises to you, Most High,
“A psalm for the Sabbath-day.” It is a good thing to give thanks to the LORD, And to sing praises to thy name, O Most High!
2 to tell of your trustworthy love in the morning, and your faithfulness in the night,
To show forth thy loving-kindness in the morning, And thy faithfulness every night,
3 to the music of a ten-stringed harp and the melody of a lyre.
Upon the ten-stringed instrument and the lute, Upon the harp with a solemn sound.
4 You've made me so happy, Lord, because of all you've done for me! I sing for joy at what you've done!
For thou, LORD, hast made me glad by thy doings; In the works of thy hands I greatly rejoice!
5 Lord, what you do is amazing; your thoughts are very profound!
How great are thy works, O LORD! How deep thy purposes!
6 Only senseless people and fools don't know and understand this:
But the unwise man knoweth not this, And the fool understandeth it not.
7 even though the wicked grow up quickly like grass, and even though people who do evil flourish, they will be destroyed forever!
When the wicked spring up like grass, And all who practise iniquity flourish, It is but to be destroyed for ever!
8 But you, Lord, rule on high forever.
Thou, O LORD! art for ever exalted!
9 Your enemies, Lord, your enemies will die; everyone who does evil will be destroyed!
For, lo! thine enemies, O LORD! For, lo! thine enemies perish, And dispersed are all who do iniquity!
10 But you have made me as powerful as a wild bull; you have anointed me with the best olive oil.
But my horn thou exaltest like the buffalo's; I am anointed with fresh oil.
11 My eyes look with pleasure to see my enemies defeated; my ears have heard the downfall of those who tried to attack me.
Mine eye hath gazed with joy upon mine enemies; Mine ears have heard with joy of my wicked adversaries.
12 Those who live right flourish like a palm tree; they grow tall like a cedar tree in Lebanon.
The righteous shall flourish like the palm-tree; They shall grow up like the cedars of Lebanon;
13 They are planted in the house of the Lord; they thrive in the courts of our God.
Planted in the house of the LORD, They shall flourish in the courts of our God.
14 Even when they are old they will still produce fruit, staying fresh and green.
Even in old age they bring forth fruit; They are green, and full of sap;
15 They will declare, “The Lord does what is right! He is my rock! There is no wrong in him!”
To show that the LORD, my rock, is upright, That there is no unrighteousness in him.
