Psalms 92

1 IT is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High:

“A psalm or 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 shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,

To tell in the morning of thy kindness, and of thy faithfulness in the nights.

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

Upon a ten-stringed instrument, and upon the psaltery; and with the sweet sound of the harp.

4 For thou, Lord, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.

For thou hast caused me to rejoice, O Lord, through thy doing: because of the works of thy hands will I triumph.

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

How great are thy works, O Lord! exceedingly profound are thy thoughts.

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

A brutish man knoweth it not, and a fool cannot understand this.

7 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:

When the wicked spring up like herbs, and when all the workers of wickedness do flourish; it is that they may be destroyed evermore.

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

But thou art exalted to eternity, O Lord!

9 For, lo, thine enemies, O Lord, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

For, lo, thy enemies, O Lord, for, lo, thy enemies shall perish: all the workers of wickedness shall be scattered.

10 But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.

But thou exaltest my horn like that of a reem: I am anointed with fresh oil.

11 Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies, and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me.

And my eye looketh on [the punishment of] those that regard me with envy: of the evildoers that rise up against me my ears shall bear it.

12 The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

The righteous shall spring up like the palm-tree: like a cedar in Lebanon shall he grow high.

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

Planted in the house of the Lord, in the courts of our God shall they spring up.

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

They shall still flourish in high old age; they shall be vigorous and covered with foliage;

15 To shew that the Lord is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

To declare that the Lord is upright: he is my rock, and there is no faultiness in him.
