Psalm 92

Psalm 92

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

1 It is good to give thanks to the LORD,
to sing praises to the Most High.2 It is good to proclaim your unfailing love in the morning,
your faithfulness in the evening,3 accompanied by the ten-stringed harp
and the melody of the lyre.4 You thrill me, LORD, with all you have done for me!
I sing for joy because of what you have done.5 O LORD, what great works you do!
And how deep are your thoughts.6 Only a simpleton would not know,
and only a fool would not understand this:7 Though the wicked sprout like weeds
and evildoers flourish,
they will be destroyed forever.8 But you, O LORD, will be exalted forever.9 Your enemies, LORD, will surely perish;
all evildoers will be scattered.10 But you have made me as strong as a wild ox.
You have anointed me with the finest oil.11 My eyes have seen the downfall of my enemies;
my ears have heard the defeat of my wicked opponents.12 But the godly will flourish like palm trees
and grow strong like the cedars of Lebanon.13 For they are transplanted to the LORD’s own house.
They flourish in the courts of our God.14 Even in old age they will still produce fruit;
they will remain vital and green.15 They will declare, “The LORD is just!
He is my rock!
There is no evil in him!”

PSALMS 92

Sing Praises //to the [Lord]

1 It is wonderful to be grateful
and to sing your praises,
[Lord] Most High!

2 It is wonderful each morning
to tell about your love
and at night to announce
how faithful you are.

3 I enjoy praising your name
to the music of harps,

4 because everything you do
makes me happy,
and I sing joyful songs.

5 You do great things, [Lord].
Your thoughts are too deep

6  t for an ignorant fool
to know or understand.

7 Though the wicked sprout
and spread like grass,
they will be pulled up
by their roots.

8 But you will rule
over all of us forever,

9 and your hateful enemies
will be scattered
and then destroyed.

10 You have given me
the strength of a wild ox,
and you have chosen me
to be your very own.

11 My eyes have seen,
and my ears have heard
the doom and destruction
of my evil enemies.

12 Good people will prosper
like palm trees,
and they will grow strong
like the cedars of Lebanon.

13 They will take root
in your house, [Lord] God,
and they will do well.

14 They will be like trees
that stay healthy and fruitful,
even when they are old.

15 And they will say about you,
“The [Lord] always does right!
God is our mighty rock.”t
