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 unto Jehovah, and to sing psalms unto thy name, O Most High; 2To declare thy loving-kindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness in the nights, 3Upon an instrument of ten strings and upon the lute; upon the Higgaion with the harp. 4For thou, Jehovah, hast made me glad through thy work; I will triumph in the works of thy hands. 5Jehovah, how great are thy works! Thy thoughts are very deep: 6A brutish man knoweth not, neither doth a fool understand it.
7When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity flourish, it is that they may be destroyed for ever. 8And thou, Jehovah, art on high for evermore. 9For lo, thine enemies, O Jehovah, for lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered. 10But my horn shalt thou exalt like a buffalo's: I shall be anointed with fresh oil. 11And mine eye shall see its desire on mine enemies; mine ears shall hear it of the evil-doers that rise up against me. 12The righteous shall shoot forth like a palm-tree; he shall grow like a cedar on Lebanon. 13Those that are planted in the house of Jehovah shall flourish in the courts of our God#GodHebrew: Elohim 14They are still vigorous in old age, they are full of sap and green; 15To shew that Jehovah is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
