Psalms 92

1 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,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

6 The insensitive cannot know, nor can a fool understand,

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

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

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 you are exalted forever.

But thou art exalted to eternity, O Lord!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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