Psalm 92
Praise for the Lord’s Goodness.
A Psalm, a Song for the Sabbath day.
1 It is agood to give thanks to the Lord
And to bsing praises to Your name, O Most High;
2 To adeclare Your lovingkindness in the morning
And Your bfaithfulness 1by night,
3 1With the aten-stringed lute and 1with the aharp,
1With resounding music 2upon the alyre.
4 For You, O Lord, have made me glad by 1what You ahave done,
I will bsing for joy at the cworks of Your hands.
5 How agreat are Your works, O Lord!
Your 1bthoughts are very cdeep.
6 A asenseless man has no knowledge,
Nor does a astupid man understand this:
7 That when the wicked asprouted up like grass
And all bwho did iniquity flourished,
It was only that they might be cdestroyed forevermore.
8 But You, O Lord, are aon high forever.
9 For, behold, Your enemies, O Lord,
For, behold, aYour enemies will perish;
All who do iniquity will be bscattered.
10 But You have exalted my ahorn like that of the wild ox;
I have 1been banointed with fresh oil.
11 And my eye has alooked exultantly upon 1my foes,
My ears hear of the evildoers who rise up against me.
12 The arighteous man will 1flourish like the palm tree,
He will grow like a bcedar in Lebanon.
13 aPlanted in the house of the Lord,
They will flourish bin the courts of our God.
14 They will still 1ayield fruit in old age;
They shall be 2full of sap and very green,
Psalm 15–16
Description of a Citizen of Zion.
A Psalm of David.
1 O Lord, who may 1abide ain Your tent?
Who may dwell on Your bholy hill?
2 He who awalks with integrity, and works righteousness,
And bspeaks truth in his heart.
3 He adoes not slander 1with his tongue,
Nor bdoes evil to his neighbor,
Nor ctakes up a reproach against his friend;
4 In 1whose eyes a reprobate is despised,
But 2who ahonors those who fear the Lord;
He bswears to his own hurt and does not change;
5 He adoes not put out his money 1at interest,
Nor bdoes he take a bribe against the innocent.
cHe who does these things will never be shaken.
The Lord the Psalmist’s Portion in Life and Deliverer in Death.
A †Mikhtam of David.
1 aPreserve me, O God, for bI take refuge in You.
2 1I said to the Lord, “You are 2my Lord;
I ahave no good besides You.”
3 As for the 1asaints who are in the earth,
2They are the majestic ones bin whom is all my delight.
4 The 1asorrows of those who have 2bartered for another god will be multiplied;
I shall not pour out their drink offerings of bblood,
Nor will I ctake their names upon my lips.
5 The Lord is the aportion of my inheritance and my bcup;
You support my clot.
6 The alines have fallen to me in pleasant places;
Indeed, my heritage is bbeautiful to me.
7 I will bless the Lord who has acounseled me;
Indeed, my 1bmind instructs me in the night.
8 aI have bset the Lord continually before me;
Because He is cat my right hand, dI will not be shaken.
9 Therefore amy heart is glad and bmy glory rejoices;
My flesh also will cdwell securely.
10 For You awill not abandon my soul to 1Sheol;
Nor will You 2ballow Your 3Holy One to 4undergo decay.
11 You will make known to me athe path of life;
In bYour presence is fullness of joy;
In Your right hand there are cpleasures forever.
