Psalm 92

Psalm 92

A psalm. A song to be sung on the Sabbath Day.

¹It is good to give thanks to the Lord,

to sing praises to the Most High.

²It is good to proclaim your unfailing love in the morning,

your faithfulness in the evening,

³accompanied by a ten-stringed instrument, a harp,

and the melody of a lyre.

⁴You thrill me, Lord, with all you have done for me!

I sing for joy because of what you have done.

⁵O Lord, what great works you do!

And how deep are your thoughts.

⁶Only a simpleton would not know,

and only a fool would not understand this:

⁷Though the wicked sprout like weeds

and evildoers flourish,

they will be destroyed forever.

⁸But you, O Lord, will be exalted forever.

⁹Your enemies, Lord, will surely perish;

all evildoers will be scattered.

¹⁰But you have made me as strong as a wild ox.

You have anointed me with the finest oil.

¹¹My eyes have seen the downfall of my enemies;

my ears have heard the defeat of my wicked opponents.

¹²But the godly will flourish like palm trees

and grow strong like the cedars of Lebanon.

¹³For they are transplanted to the Lord’s own house.

They flourish in the courts of our God.

¹⁴Even in old age they will still produce fruit;

they will remain vital and green.

¹⁵They will declare, “The Lord is just!

He is my rock!

There is no evil in him!”
