< Psalms 92 >
1 “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 show forth thy loving-kindness in the morning, And thy faithfulness every night,
3 Upon the ten-stringed instrument and the lute, Upon the harp with a solemn sound.
4 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! How deep thy purposes!
6 But the unwise man knoweth not this, And the fool understandeth it not.
7 When the wicked spring up like grass, And all who practise iniquity flourish, It is but to be destroyed for ever!
8 Thou, O LORD! art for ever exalted!
9 For, lo! thine enemies, O LORD! For, lo! thine enemies perish, And dispersed are all who do iniquity!
10 But my horn thou exaltest like the buffalo's; I am anointed with fresh oil.
11 Mine eye hath gazed with joy upon mine enemies; Mine ears have heard with joy of my wicked adversaries.
12 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, They shall flourish in the courts of our God.
14 Even in old age they bring forth fruit; They are green, and full of sap;
15 To show that the LORD, my rock, is upright, That there is no unrighteousness in him.
