Psalms 92

1 A Psalme or song for the Sabbath day. It is a good thing to praise the Lord, and to sing vnto thy Name, O most High,

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;

2 To declare thy louing kindenesse in the morning, and thy trueth in the night,

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

3 Vpon an instrument of tenne strings, and vpon the viole with the song vpon the harpe.

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

4 For thou, Lord, hast made mee glad by thy workes, and I wil reioyce in the workes of thine handes.

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

5 O Lord, how glorious are thy workes! and thy thoughtes are very deepe.

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

6 An vnwise man knoweth it not, and a foole doeth not vnderstand this,

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

7 (When the wicked growe as the grasse, and all the workers of wickednesse doe flourish) that they shall be destroyed for euer.

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.

8 But thou, O Lord, art most High for euermore.

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

9 For loe, thine enemies, O Lord: for loe, thine enemies shall perish: all the workers of iniquitie shall be destroyed.

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

10 But thou shalt exalt mine horne, like the vnicornes, and I shalbe anoynted with fresh oyle.

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

11 Mine eye also shall see my desire against mine enemies: and mine eares shall heare my wish against the wicked, that rise vp against me.

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.

12 The righteous shall flourish like a palme tree, and shall grow like a Cedar in Lebanon.

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

13 Such as bee planted in the house of the Lord, shall flourish in the courtes of our God.

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

14 They shall still bring foorth fruite in their age: they shall be fat and flourishing,

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

15 To declare that the Lord my rocke is righteous, and that none iniquitie is in him.

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