Psalms

(92) A Psalm of a Song for the Sabbath-day.

¹It is a good thing to give thanks to the Lord, and to sing praises to your name, O you Most High;

²to proclaim your mercy in the morning, and your truth by night,

³on a lute of ten strings, with a song on the harp.

⁴For you, O Lord, have made me glad with your work: and in the operations of your hands will I exult.

⁵How have your works been magnified, O Lord! your thoughts are very deep.

⁶A foolish man will not know, and a senseless man will not understand this.

⁷When the sinners spring up as the grass, and all the workers of iniquity ¹ have watched; it is that they may be utterly destroyed for ever.

⁸But you, O Lord, are most high for ever.

⁹² For, behold, your enemies shall perish; and all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

¹⁰But my horn shall be exalted as the horn of a unicorn; and my old age with rich ³ mercy.

¹¹And my eye has seen my enemies, and my ear shall hear the wicked that rise up against me.

¹²The righteous shall flourish as a palm tree: he shall be increased as the cedar in Libanus.

¹³They that are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God.

¹⁴Then shall they be increased in a ⁴ fine old age; and they shall be prosperous; that they may declare

¹⁵that the Lord my God is righteous, and there is no iniquity in him.
