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. 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 tell of your trustworthy love in the morning, and your faithfulness in the night,
to declare your love in the morning, and your faithfulness in the night,
3 to the music of a ten-stringed harp and the melody of a lyre.
with voice and a ten-stringed harp, with music that throbs on the lyre.
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 you make me glad by your deeds, Lord, at the work of your hands I will ring out my joy.
5 Lord, what you do is amazing; your thoughts are very profound!
How great are your works, O Lord; how deep are your thoughts!
6 Only senseless people and fools don't know and understand this:
The insensitive cannot know, nor can a fool understand,
7 even though the wicked grow up quickly like grass, and even though people who do evil flourish, they will be destroyed forever!
that, though the wicked flourish like grass, and evildoers all blossom, they will perish forever.
8 But you, Lord, rule on high forever.
But you are exalted forever.
9 Your enemies, Lord, your enemies will die; everyone who does evil will be destroyed!
For see! Your enemies, Lord For see! Your enemies perish, all evildoers are scattered.
10 But you have made me as powerful as a wild bull; you have anointed me with the best olive oil.
But you lift me to honour, and anoint me afresh with 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.
My eyes will feast on my foes, and my ears will hear of the doom of the wicked.
12 Those who live right flourish like a palm tree; they grow tall like a cedar tree in Lebanon.
The righteous will sprout like the palm, will grow like a cedar of Lebanon.
13 They are planted in the house of the Lord; they thrive in the courts of our God.
In the house of the Lord are they planted, in the courts of our God they will sprout.
14 Even when they are old they will still produce fruit, staying fresh and green.
They will still bear fruit in old age, all sappy and fresh will they be
15 They will declare, “The Lord does what is right! He is my rock! There is no wrong in him!”
So they proclaim the Lord to be just, my rock, in whom is no wrong.
