Psalms 92

1 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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 thy works! thy thoughts are exceeding deep.

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

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

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

7 When the wicked shall spring up as grass: and all the workers of iniquity shall appear: That they may perish for ever and 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 most high for evermore.

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

9 For behold thy enemies, O Lord, for behold thy enemies shall perish: and all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

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

10 But my horn shall be exalted like that of the unicorn: and my old age in plentiful mercy.

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

11 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.

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

12 The just shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow up like the cedar of Libanus.

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 the house 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 increase in a fruitful old age: and shall be well treated,

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

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

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