Psalms 92

1 A Psalm. A Song for the Sabbath. It is a good thing to give praise to the Lord, and to make melody to your 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 your name, O you Most High;

2 To make clear your mercy in the morning, and your unchanging faith every night;

to proclaim your mercy in the morning, and your truth by night,

3 On a ten-corded instrument, and on an instrument of music with a quiet sound.

on a lute of ten strings, with a song on the harp.

4 For you, O Lord, have made me glad through your work; I will have joy in the works of your hands.

For you, O Lord, have made me glad with your work: and in the operations of your hands will I exult.

5 O Lord, how great are your works! and your thoughts are very deep.

How have your works been magnified, O Lord! your thoughts are very deep.

6 A man without sense has no knowledge of this; and a foolish man may not take it in.

A foolish man will not know, and a senseless man will not understand this.

7 When the sinners come up like the grass, and all the workers of evil do well for themselves, it is so that their end may be eternal destruction.

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 you, O Lord, are on high for ever.

But you, O Lord, are most high for ever.

9 For see! your haters, O Lord, will be put to death; all the workers of evil will be put to flight;

For, behold, your enemies shall perish; and all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

10 But my horn is lifted up like the horn of the ox: the best oil is flowing on my head.

But my horn shall be exalted [as the horn] of a unicorn; and mine old age with rich mercy.

11 My eyes have seen trouble come on my haters; my ears have news of the fate of the evil-doers who have come up against me.

And mine eye has seen mine enemies, and mine ear shall hear the wicked that rise up against me.

12 The good man will be like a tall tree in his strength; his growth will be as the wide-stretching trees of Lebanon.

The righteous shall flourish as a palm tree: he shall be increased as the cedar in Libanus.

13 Those who are planted in the house of the Lord will come up tall and strong in his gardens.

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

14 They will give fruit even when they are old; they will be fertile and full of growth;

Then shall they be increased in a fine old age; and they shall be prosperous; that they may declare

15 For a sign that the Lord is upright; he is my Rock, there is no deceit in him.

that the Lord my God is righteous, and there is no iniquity in him.
