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 a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O Most High:

2 to tell of your trustworthy love in the morning, and your faithfulness in the night,

To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,

3 to the music of a ten-stringed harp and the melody of a lyre.

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

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 through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.

5 Lord, what you do is amazing; your thoughts are very profound!

How great are thy works, O LORD! thy thoughts are very deep.

6 Only senseless people and fools don't know and understand this:

A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this:

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 as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever:

8 But you, Lord, rule on high forever.

But thou, O LORD, art on high for evermore.

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 shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

10 But you have made me as powerful as a wild bull; you have anointed me with the best olive oil.

But my horn hast thou exalted like [the horn of] the wild-ox: 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 also hath seen [my desire] on mine enemies, mine ears have heard [my desire] of the evil-doers that rise up against me.

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: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

13 They are planted in the house of the Lord; they thrive in the courts of our God.

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

14 Even when they are old they will still produce fruit, staying fresh and green.

They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be full of sap and green:

15 They will declare, “The Lord does what is right! He is my rock! There is no wrong in him!”

To shew that the LORD is upright; he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
