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 give thanks to the Lord, to sing praise to your name, O Most High,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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:

The insensitive cannot know, nor can a fool 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 flourish like grass, and evildoers all blossom, they will perish forever.

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

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

10 But my horn hast thou exalted like [the horn of] the wild-ox: I am anointed with fresh oil.

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

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

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

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

13 They that are planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.

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

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

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

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

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