Psalms, 92

1. A Psalm [or] 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:

1.

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

2. It is good to give thanks to the Lord, to sing praise to your name, O Most High,

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

3. to proclaim your grace in the morning, to declare your faithfulness at night,

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

4. accompanied by music from the lyre and the melody of lute and harp.

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

5. For you make me glad with your deeds, O Lord, and I sing for joy at the work of your hands.

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

6. How great are your works, O Lord, how deep your thoughts!

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:

7. The senseless will not know, nor will the stupid understand them.

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

8. For though the wicked prosper and evildoers flourish like grass, they are doomed to vanish for good.

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

9. But you, O Lord, are exalted forever.

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

10. Time will come when your enemies will perish, evildoers will be scattered.

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

11. You have made me stronger than the wild ox; you have poured fresh oil on me.

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

12. I look down on my enemies; I take for granted their doom.

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

13. The virtuous will flourish like palm trees, they will thrive like the cedars of Lebanon.

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

14. Planted in the house of the Lord, they will prosper in the courts of our God.

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

15. In old age they will still bear fruit they will stay fresh and green,

16.

16. to proclaim that the Lord is upright, "He is my Rock," they say, "he never fails."
