< Psalms 92 >
1 A Psalm, a 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 praise the LORD, and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High,
2 To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,
to proclaim Your loving devotion in the morning and Your faithfulness at night
3 With an instrument of ten strings, and with the psaltery; with a solemn sound upon the harp.
with the ten-stringed harp and the melody of the lyre.
4 For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.
For You, O LORD, have made me glad by Your deeds; I sing for joy at the works of Your hands.
5 How great are thy works, O LORD! thy thoughts are very deep.
How great are Your works, O LORD, how deep are Your thoughts!
6 A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this:
A senseless man does not know, and a fool does not understand,
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:
that though the wicked sprout like grass, and all evildoers flourish, they will be forever destroyed.
8 But thou, O LORD, art on high for evermore.
But You, O LORD, are exalted forever!
9 For, lo, thine enemies, O LORD, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
For surely Your enemies, O LORD, surely Your enemies will perish; all evildoers will be scattered.
10 But my horn hast thou exalted like [the horn of] the wild-ox: I am anointed with fresh oil.
But You have exalted my horn like that of a wild ox; with fine oil I have been anointed.
11 Mine eye also hath seen [my desire] on mine enemies, mine ears have heard [my desire] of the evil-doers that rise up against me.
My eyes see the downfall of my enemies; my ears hear the wailing of my wicked foes.
12 The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, and grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13 They that are planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.
Planted in the house of the LORD, they will flourish in the courts of our God.
14 They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be full of sap and green:
In old age they will still bear fruit; healthy and green they will remain,
15 To shew that the LORD is upright; he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
to proclaim, “The LORD is upright; He is my Rock, and in Him there is no unrighteousness.”
