< 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 of a Song for the Sabbath-day. It is a good thing to give thanks to the Lord, and to sing praises to thy name, O thou Most High;
2 To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,
to proclaim thy mercy in the morning, and thy truth by night,
3 With an instrument of ten strings, and with the psaltery; with a solemn sound upon the harp.
on a psaltery of ten strings, with a song on the harp.
4 For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.
For thou, O Lord, hast made me glad with thy work: and in the operations of thy hands will I exult.
5 How great are thy works, O LORD! thy thoughts are very deep.
How have thy works been magnified, O Lord! thy thoughts are very deep.
6 A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this:
A foolish man will not know, and a senseless man will not understand this.
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:
When the sinners spring up as the grass, and all the workers of iniquity have watched; [it is] that they may be utterly destroyed for ever.
8 But thou, O LORD, art on high for evermore.
But thou, O Lord, art most high for ever.
9 For, lo, thine enemies, O LORD, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
For, behold, thine enemies shall perish; and all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
10 But my horn hast thou exalted like [the horn of] the wild-ox: I am anointed with fresh oil.
But my horn shall be exalted [as the horn] of a unicorn; and mine old age with rich mercy.
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.
And mine eye has seen mine enemies, and mine ear shall hear the wicked that rise up against me.
12 The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
The righteous shall flourish as a palm-tree: he shall be increased as the cedar in Libanus.
13 They that are planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.
They that are planted in the house of the Lord shall 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:
Then shall they be increased in a fine old age; and they shall be prosperous; that they may declare
15 To shew that the LORD is upright; he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
that the Lord my God is righteous, and there is no iniquity in him.
