Psalms 92

1 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;

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

7 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.

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

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

Thou, O LORD! art for ever exalted!

9 For, behold, your enemies shall perish; and 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 shall be exalted [as the horn] of a unicorn; and mine old age with rich mercy.

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

11 And mine eye has seen mine enemies, and mine ear shall hear the wicked 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 as a palm tree: he shall be increased as the cedar in Libanus.

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

13 They that are planted in the house of the Lord 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 Then shall they be increased in a fine old age; and they shall be prosperous; that they may declare

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

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

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