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.

1A psalm. A song for Shabbat:
2It is good to give thanks to Adonai
and sing praises to your name, ‘Elyon,
3to tell in the morning about your grace
and at night about your faithfulness,
4to the music of a ten-stringed [harp] and a lute,
with the melody sounding on a lyre.
5For, Adonai, what you do makes me happy;
I take joy in what your hands have made.
6How great are your deeds, Adonai!
How very deep your thoughts!
7Stupid people can’t know,
fools don’t understand,
8that when the wicked sprout like grass,
and all who do evil prosper,
it is so that they can be eternally destroyed,
9while you, Adonai, are exalted forever.
10For your enemies, Adonai,
your enemies will perish;
all evildoers will be scattered.
11But you have given me
the strength of a wild bull;
you anoint me with fresh olive oil.
12My eyes have gazed with pleasure on my enemies’ ruin,
my ears have delighted in the fall of my foes.
13The righteous will flourish like a palm tree,
they will grow like a cedar in the L’vanon.
14Planted in the house of Adonai,
they will flourish in the courtyards of our God.
15Even in old age they will be vigorous,
still full of sap, still bearing fruit,
16proclaiming that Adonai is upright,
my Rock, in whom there is no wrong.
