Psalm 92
A psalm; a song; for the day of rest—a holy day.
1It is good to give thanks to the Lord,
to make music to praise your name, O Most High.
2It is good to announce your mercy in the morning
and your faithfulness in the evening
3on a ten-stringed instrument and a harp
and with a melody on a lyre.
4You made me find joy in what you have done, O Lord.
I will sing joyfully about the works of your hands.
5How spectacular are your works, O Lord!
How very deep are your thoughts!
6A stupid person cannot know
and a fool cannot understand
7that wicked people sprout like grass
and all troublemakers blossom ⌞like flowers⌟,
only to be destroyed forever.
8But you, O Lord, are highly honored forever.
9Now look at your enemies, O Lord.
Now look at your enemies.
They disappear, and all troublemakers are scattered.
10But you make me as strong as a wild bull,
and soothing lotion is poured on me.
11My eyes gloat over those who spy on me.
My ears hear ⌞the cries⌟ of evildoers attacking me.
12Righteous people flourish like palm trees
and grow tall like the cedars in Lebanon.
13They are planted in the Lord’s house.
They blossom in our God’s courtyards.
14Even when they are old, they still bear fruit.
They are always healthy and fresh.
15They make it known that the Lord is decent.
He is my rock.
He is never unfair.

Psalms 92
92
A psalm. A song to be sung on the Sabbath Day.
1It is good to give thanks to the Lord,
to sing praises to the Most High.
2It is good to proclaim your unfailing love in the morning,
your faithfulness in the evening,
3accompanied by a ten-stringed instrument, a harp,
and the melody of a lyre.
4You thrill me, Lord, with all you have done for me!
I sing for joy because of what you have done.
5O Lord, what great works you do!
And how deep are your thoughts.
6Only a simpleton would not know,
and only a fool would not understand this:
7Though the wicked sprout like weeds
and evildoers flourish,
they will be destroyed forever.
8But you, O Lord, will be exalted forever.
9Your enemies, Lord, will surely perish;
all evildoers will be scattered.
10But you have made me as strong as a wild ox.
You have anointed me with the finest oil.
11My eyes have seen the downfall of my enemies;
my ears have heard the defeat of my wicked opponents.
12But the godly will flourish like palm trees
and grow strong like the cedars of Lebanon.
13For they are transplanted to the Lord’s own house.
They flourish in the courts of our God.
14Even in old age they will still produce fruit;
they will remain vital and green.
15They will declare, “The Lord is just!
He is my rock!
There is no evil in him!”
