Psalms 92
92
A Hymn of Thanksgiving for God’s Fidelity
1A psalm. A sabbath song.
I
2It is good to give thanks to the Lord,
to sing praise to your name, Most High,#Ps 33:1; 147:1.
3To proclaim your love at daybreak,
your faithfulness in the night,
4With the ten-stringed harp,
with melody upon the lyre.#Ps 33:2; 144:9.
5For you make me jubilant, Lord, by your deeds;
at the works of your hands I shout for joy.
II
6How great are your works, Lord!#Ps 131:1; 139:6, 17; Wis 13:1; 17:1.
How profound your designs!
7A senseless person cannot know this;
a fool cannot comprehend.
8Though the wicked flourish like grass#Ps 37:35.
and all sinners thrive,
They are destined for eternal destruction;
9but you, Lord, are forever on high.
10Indeed your enemies, Lord,
indeed your enemies shall perish;
all sinners shall be scattered.#Ps 68:1–2; 125:5.
III
11You have given me the strength of a wild ox;#Ps 75:11; Dt 33:17.
you have poured rich oil upon me.#Ps 23:5.
12My eyes look with glee on my wicked enemies;
my ears shall hear what happens to my wicked foes.#Ps 91:8.
13The just shall flourish like the palm tree,
shall grow like a cedar of Lebanon.#Ps 1:3; 52:10; Jer 17:8.
14#Planted: the just are likened to trees growing in the sacred precincts of the Temple, which is often seen as the source of life and fertility because of God’s presence, cf. Ps 36:9, 10; Ez 47:1–12.Planted in the house of the Lord,
they shall flourish in the courts of our God.
15They shall bear fruit even in old age,
they will stay fresh and green,
16To proclaim: “The Lord is just;
my rock, in whom there is no wrong.”#Dt 32:4.

How Great Are Your Works
A Psalm. A Song for the Sabbath.
1 #
Ps. 147:1; [Ps. 71:22] It is good to give thanks to the Lord,
to sing praises to your name, #[Gen. 14:19, 20]O Most High;
2to declare your #See Ps. 36:5 steadfast love in #[Ps. 119:147, 148]the morning,
and your #See Ps. 36:5 faithfulness by #[Ps. 119:147, 148]night,
3to the music of #See Ps. 33:2the lute and #See Ps. 33:2the harp,
to the melody of #See Ps. 33:2the lyre.
4For you, O Lord, have made me glad by your #See Ps. 90:16 work;
at #Ps. 8:6the works of your hands I sing for joy.
5How #Ps. 111:2; Rev. 15:3 great are your works, O Lord!
Your #Ps. 40:5; 139:17 thoughts are very #[Rom. 11:33]; See Ps. 36:6deep!
6The stupid man cannot know;
the fool cannot understand this:
7that though #See Job 21:7 the wicked sprout like grass
and all #Ps. 94:4; 125:5evildoers flourish,
they are doomed to destruction forever;
8but you, O Lord, are #Ps. 93:4on high forever.
9For behold, your enemies, O Lord,
for behold, your enemies shall perish;
all evildoers shall be #See Ps. 68:1scattered.
10But you have exalted my #See Ps. 75:10; 1 Sam. 2:1 horn like that of #Num. 23:22 the wild ox;
you have #See Ps. 23:5poured over me#92:10 Compare Syriac; the meaning of the Hebrew is uncertain fresh oil.
11My #See Ps. 37:34; 54:7eyes have seen the downfall of my enemies;
my ears have heard the doom of my evil assailants.
12 #
Ps. 1:3; 52:8; 72:7; Prov. 11:28; [Num. 24:6; Isa. 61:3]; See Hos. 14:5-8 The righteous flourish like the palm tree
and grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13They are planted in the house of the Lord;
they flourish in #Ps. 100:4; 116:19; 135:2the courts of our God.
14They still bear fruit in old age;
they are ever full of sap and green,
15 # [Ps. 58:11] to declare that the Lord is upright;
he is my #See Ps. 18:2 rock, and there is #See Job 34:10no unrighteousness in him.
