Psalm 92

1 It is good to praise the Lord
and make music to your name, O Most High,

2 proclaiming your love in the morning
and your faithfulness at night,

3 to the music of the ten-stringed lyre
and the melody of the harp.

4 For you make me glad by your deeds, Lord;
I sing for joy at what your hands have done.

5 How great are your works, Lord,
how profound your thoughts!

6 Senseless people do not know,
fools do not understand,

7 that though the wicked spring up like grass
and all evildoers flourish,
they will be destroyed forever.

8 But you, Lord, are forever exalted.

9 For surely your enemies, Lord,
surely your enemies will perish;
all evildoers will be scattered.

10 You have exalted my horn like that of a wild ox;
fine oils have been poured on me.

11 My eyes have seen the defeat of my adversaries;
my ears have heard the rout of my wicked foes.

12 The righteous will flourish like a palm tree,
they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon;

13 planted in the house of the Lord,
they will flourish in the courts of our God.

14 They will still bear fruit in old age,
they will stay fresh and green,

15 proclaiming, “The Lord is upright;
he is my Rock, and there is no wickedness 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
