Psalms 92

1 A Psalm or Song 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:

A Canticle Psalm. On the day of the Sabbath. It is good to confess to the Lord and to sing psalms to your name, O Most High:

2 To show forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,

to announce your mercy in the morning, and your truth throughout the night,

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

upon the ten strings, upon the psaltery, with a canticle, upon stringed instruments.

4 For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.

For you, O Lord, have delighted me with your doings, and I will exult in the works of your hands.

5 O LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep.

How great are your works, O Lord! Your thoughts have been made exceedingly deep.

6 A stupid man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this.

A foolish man will not know these things, and a senseless one will not understand:

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

when sinners will have risen up like grass, and when all those who work iniquity will have appeared, that they shall pass away, age after age.

8 But thou, LORD, art most high for evermore.

But you, O Lord, are the Most High for all eternity.

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

For behold your enemies, O Lord, for behold your enemies will perish, and all those who work iniquity will be dispersed.

10 But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.

And my horn will be exalted like that of the single-horned beast, and my old age will be exalted in fruitful mercy.

11 My eye also shall see my desire on my enemies, and my ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me.

And my eye has looked down upon my enemies, and my ear will hear of the malignant rising up against me.

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

The just one will flourish like the palm tree. He will be multiplied like the cedar of Lebanon.

13 Those that are planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.

Those planted in the house of the Lord will flourish in the courts of the house of our God.

14 They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;

They will still be multiplied in a fruitful old age, and they will endure well,

15 To show that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

so that they may announce that the Lord our God is righteous and that there is no iniquity in him.
