Psalm 92:1–15

It is good to praise you, Lord,

to sing praises to God Most High.

²It is good to tell of your love in the morning

and of your loyalty at night.

³It is good to praise you with the ten-stringed lyre

and with the soft-sounding harp.

⁴Lord, you have made me happy by what you have done;

I will sing for joy about what your hands have done.

⁵Lord, you have done such great things!

How deep are your thoughts!

⁶Stupid people don’t know these things,

and fools don’t understand.

⁷Wicked people grow like the grass.

Evil people seem to do well,

but they will be destroyed forever.

⁸But, Lord, you will be honored forever.

⁹Lord, surely your enemies,

surely your enemies will be destroyed,

and all who do evil will be scattered.

¹⁰But you have made me as strong as an ox.

You have poured fine oils on me.

¹¹When I looked, I saw my enemies;

I heard the cries of those who are against me.

¹²But good people will grow like palm trees;

they will be tall like the cedars of Lebanon.

¹³Like trees planted in the Temple of the Lord,

they will grow strong in the courtyards of our God.

¹⁴When they are old, they will still produce fruit;

they will be healthy and fresh.

¹⁵They will say that the Lord is good.

He is my Rock, and there is no wrong in him.
