Psalm 92
A Psalm for the Sabbath Day
It is good to give thanks to the LORD,
to sing praise to your name, Most High;
to declare your steadfast love in the morning,
and your faithfulness by night,
with the ten-stringed instrument and the harp,
with the melody of the lyre.
For you, O LORD, have made me glad by your work;
at the works of your hands I sing for joy.
How great are your works, O LORD!
your thoughts are very deep.
A dull person does not know,
and a fool does not understand this:
that though the wicked sprout like grass,
and all evildoers flourish,
they are doomed to destruction forever;
but you, O LORD, are on high forever.
For behold, your enemies, O LORD,
for behold, your enemies shall perish;
all evildoers shall be scattered.
But you have exalted my horn like that of a wild ox;
you have poured over me fresh oil.
My eyes have seen the downfall of my enemies;
my ears have heard the doom of the evildoers who rise against me.
The righteous flourish like the palm tree,
and grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
They are planted in the house of the LORD;
they flourish in the courts of our God.
In old age they still bear fruit;
they are full of sap and green,
to declare that the LORD is upright;
he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
