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 for the Sabbath-day.” It is a good thing to give thanks to the LORD, And to sing praises to thy name, O Most High!

2 To declare Thy lovingkindness in the morning, and Thy faithfulness in the night seasons,

To show forth thy loving-kindness in the morning, And thy faithfulness every night,

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

Upon the ten-stringed instrument and the lute, Upon the harp with a solemn sound.

4 For Thou, LORD, hast made me glad through Thy work; I will exult in the works of Thy hands.

For thou, LORD, hast made me glad by thy doings; In the works of thy hands I greatly rejoice!

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

How great are thy works, O LORD! How deep thy purposes!

6 A brutish man knoweth not, neither doth a fool understand this.

But the unwise man knoweth not this, And the fool understandeth it not.

7 When the wicked spring up as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they may be destroyed for ever.

When the wicked spring up like grass, And all who practise iniquity flourish, It is but to be destroyed for ever!

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

Thou, O LORD! art for ever exalted!

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

For, lo! thine enemies, O LORD! For, lo! thine enemies perish, And dispersed are all who do iniquity!

10 But my horn hast Thou exalted like the horn of the wild-ox; I am anointed with rich oil.

But my horn thou exaltest like the buffalo's; I am anointed with fresh oil.

11 Mine eye also hath gazed on them that lie in wait for me, mine ears have heard my desire of the evil-doers that rise up against me.

Mine eye hath gazed with joy upon mine enemies; Mine ears have heard with joy of my wicked adversaries.

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

The righteous shall flourish like the palm-tree; They shall grow up like the cedars of Lebanon;

13 Planted in the house of the LORD, they shall flourish in the courts of our God.

Planted in the house of the LORD, They shall flourish in the courts of our God.

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

Even in old age they bring forth fruit; They are green, and full of sap;

15 To declare that the LORD is upright, my Rock, in whom there is no unrighteousness.

To show that the LORD, my rock, is upright, That there is no unrighteousness in him.
