PSALM 92
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
A Psalm or Song for the sabbath day.
1To render thanks unto the Lord
it is a comely thing,
And to thy name, O thou most High,
due praise aloud to sing.
2Thy loving-kindness to shew forth
when shines the morning light;
And to declare thy faithfulness
with pleasure ev'ry night.
3On a ten-stringed instrument,
upon the psaltery,
And on the harp with solemn sound,
and grave sweet melody.
4For thou, Lord, by thy mighty works
hast made my heart right glad;
And I will triumph in the works
which by thine hands were made.
5How great, Lord, are thy works! each thought
of thine a deep it is:
6A brutish man it knoweth not;
fools understand not this.
7When those that lewd and wicked are
spring quickly up like grass,
And workers of iniquity
do flourish all apace;
It is that they for ever may
destroyed be and slain;
8But thou, O Lord, art the most High,
for ever to remain.
9For, lo, thine enemies, O Lord,
thine en'mies perish shall;
The workers of iniquity
shall be dispersed all.
10But thou shalt, like unto the horn
of th' unicorn, exalt
My horn on high: thou with fresh oil
anoint me also shalt.
11Mine eyes shall also my desire
see on mine enemies;
Mine ears shall of the wicked hear
that do against me rise.
12But like the palm-tree flourishing
shall be the righteous one;
He shall like to the cedar grow
that is in Lebanon.
13Those that within the house of God
are planted by his grace,
They shall grow up, and flourish all
in our God's holy place.
14And in old age, when others fade,
they fruit still forth shall bring;
They shall be fat, and full of sap,
and aye be flourishing;
15To shew that upright is the Lord:
he is a rock to me;
And he from all unrighteousness
is altogether free.

Psalms 92
92
A song of praise for the Sabbath.
1It is good to praise the Lord.
God Most High, it is good to praise your name.
2It is good to sing about your love in the morning
and about your faithfulness at night.
3It is good to play for you on the ten-stringed instrument and lyre
and to add the soft sounds of the harp to my praise.
4Lord, you make us very happy because of what you did.
I gladly sing about it.
5Lord, you did such great things.
Your thoughts are too hard for us to understand.
6Stupid people don’t know this.
Fools don’t understand.
7The wicked may sprout like grass,
and those who do evil may blossom like flowers,
but they will be destroyed, never to be seen again.
8But, Lord, you will be honored forever.
9Lord, all your enemies will be destroyed,
and all who do evil will be scattered.
10But you have made me as strong as a wild ox.
You have given me your blessing.#92:10 You … blessing Or “You poured your refreshing oil over me.”
11My eyes will see the defeat of those waiting to attack me.
My ears will hear the cries of my evil enemies.
12Good people are like budding palm trees.
They grow strong like the cedar trees of Lebanon.
13They are planted in the house#92:13 house Or “Temple.” See “Temple” in the Word List. of the Lord.
They grow strong there in the courtyards of our God.
14Even when they are old,
they will continue producing fruit like young, healthy trees.
15They are there to show everyone that the Lord is good.#92:15 good This is a wordplay. The Hebrew word means “straight” (like the trees) and “good” or “honest.”
He is my Rock, and he does no wrong.#92:15 he … wrong Or “there is no crookedness in him.”
