92:0 A Psalm. A Song for the Sabbath.
92:1 It is good to give thanks to the LORD, to sing praises to thy name, O Most High;
92:2 to declare thy steadfast love in the morning, and thy faithfulness by night,
92:3 to the music of the lute and the harp, to the melody of the lyre.
92:4 For thou, O LORD, hast made me glad by thy work; at the works of thy hands I sing for joy.
92:5 How great are thy works, O LORD! Thy thoughts are very deep!
92:6 The dull man cannot know, the stupid cannot understand this:
92:7 that, though the wicked sprout like grass and all evildoers flourish, they are doomed to destruction for ever,
92:8 but thou, O LORD, art on high for ever.
92:9 For, lo, thy enemies, O LORD, for, lo, thy enemies shall perish; all evildoers shall be scattered.
92:10 But thou hast exalted my horn like that of the wild ox; thou hast poured over me fresh oil.
92:11 My eyes have seen the downfall of my enemies, my ears have heard the doom of my evil assailants.
92:12 The righteous flourish like the palm tree, and grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
92:13 They are planted in the house of the LORD, they flourish in the courts of our God.
92:14 They still bring forth fruit in old age, they are ever full of sap and green,
92:15 to show that the LORD is upright; he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
