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

to declare your love in the morning, and your faithfulness in the night,

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

with voice and a ten-stringed harp, with music that throbs on the lyre.

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

For you make me glad by your deeds, Lord, at the work of your hands I will ring out my joy.

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

How great are your works, O Lord; how deep are your thoughts!

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

The insensitive cannot know, nor can a fool understand,

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.

that, though the wicked flourish like grass, and evildoers all blossom, they will perish forever.

8 But thou art exalted to eternity, O Lord!

But you are exalted forever.

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

For see! Your enemies, Lord For see! Your enemies perish, all evildoers are scattered.

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

But you lift me to honor, and anoint me afresh with 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.

My eyes will feast on my foes, and my ears will hear of the doom of the wicked.

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

The righteous will sprout like the palm, will grow like a cedar of Lebanon.

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

In the house of the Lord are they planted, in the courts of our God they will sprout.

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

They will still bear fruit in old age, all sappy and fresh will they be

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

So they proclaim the Lord to be just, my rock, in whom is no wrong.
