Psalms 92

1 “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:

“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 in the morning of thy kindness, and of thy faithfulness in the nights.

To show forth thy loving-kindness in the morning, And thy faithfulness every night,

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

Upon the ten-stringed instrument and the lute, Upon the harp with a solemn sound.

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

For thou, LORD, hast made me glad by thy doings; In the works of thy hands I greatly rejoice!

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

How great are thy works, O LORD! How deep thy purposes!

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

But the unwise man knoweth not this, And the fool understandeth it not.

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

When the wicked spring up like grass, And all who practise iniquity flourish, It is but to be destroyed for ever!

8 But thou art exalted to eternity, O Lord!

Thou, O LORD! art for ever exalted!

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

For, lo! thine enemies, O LORD! For, lo! thine enemies perish, And dispersed are all who do iniquity!

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

But my horn thou exaltest like the buffalo's; I am anointed with fresh oil.

11 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.

Mine eye hath gazed with joy upon mine enemies; Mine ears have heard with joy of my wicked adversaries.

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

The righteous shall flourish like the palm-tree; They shall grow up like the cedars of Lebanon;

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

Planted in the house of the LORD, They shall flourish in the courts of our God.

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

Even in old age they bring forth fruit; They are green, and full of sap;

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

To show that the LORD, my rock, is upright, That there is no unrighteousness in him.
