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 canticle on the sabbath day. It is good to give praise to the Lord: and to sing to thy name, O most High.

2 To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,

To shew forth thy mercy in the morning, and thy truth in the night:

3 With an instrument of ten strings, and with the psaltery; with a solemn sound upon the harp.

Upon an instrument of ten strings, upon the psaltery: with a canticle upon the harp.

4 For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.

For thou hast given me, O Lord, a delight in thy doings: and in the works of thy hands I shall rejoice.

5 How great are thy works, O LORD! thy thoughts are very deep.

O Lord, how great are thy works! thy thoughts are exceeding deep.

6 A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this:

The senseless man shall not know: nor will the fool understand these things.

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 wicked shall spring up as grass: and all the workers of iniquity shall appear: That they may perish for ever and ever:

8 But thou, O LORD, art on high for evermore.

But thou, O Lord, art most high for evermore.

9 For, lo, thine enemies, O LORD, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

For behold thy enemies, O Lord, for behold thy 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 like that of the unicorn: and my old age in plentiful 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.

My eye also hath looked down upon my enemies: and my ear shall hear of the downfall of the malignant that rise up against me.

12 The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

The just shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow up like the cedar of 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 the house of our God.

14 They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be full of sap and green:

They shall still increase in a fruitful old age: and shall be well treated,

15 To shew that the LORD is upright; he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

That they may shew, That the Lord our God is righteous, and there is no iniquity in him.
