PSALM 92 "Praises for the goodness of God"

Psalm 92 (New International Version)

Psalm 92

A psalm. A song. For the Sabbath day.

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

 ² to proclaim 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, O LORD;
       I sing for joy at the works of your hands.


 ⁵ How great are your works, O LORD,
       how profound your thoughts!


 ⁶ The senseless man does not know,
       fools do not understand,


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


 ⁸ But you, O LORD, are exalted forever.


 ⁹ For surely your enemies, O 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 upon 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."
