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.

Psalm 92
A psalm. A song for the Sabbath day.
1It is good to give thanks to the LORD,
to sing praises to your name, Most High;
2to proclaim your loyal love in the morning,
your faithfulness at nighttime
3with the ten-stringed harp,
with the melody of the lyre
4because you’ve made me happy, LORD,
by your acts.
I sing with joy because of your handiwork.
5How awesome are your works, LORD!
Your thoughts are so deep!
6Ignorant people don’t know—
fools don’t understand this:
7though the wicked spring up like grass
and all evildoers seem to blossom,
they do so only to be destroyed forever.
8But you, LORD, are exalted forever!
9Look at your enemies, LORD!
Look at how your enemies die,
how all evildoers are scattered abroad!
10But you’ve made me as strong as a wild ox.
I’m soaked in precious ointment.
11My eyes have seen my enemies’ defeat;
my ears have heard the downfall of my evil foes.
12The righteous will spring up like a palm tree.
They will grow strong like a cedar of Lebanon.
13Those who have been replanted in the LORD’s house
will spring up in the courtyards of our God.
14They will bear fruit even when old and gray;
they will remain lush and fresh 15in order to proclaim:
“The LORD is righteous.
He’s my rock.
There’s nothing unrighteous in him.”
