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.

How Great Are Your Works
A Psalm. A Song for the Sabbath.
1 #
Ps. 147:1; [Ps. 71:22] It is good to give thanks to the Lord,
to sing praises to your name, #[Gen. 14:19, 20]O Most High;
2to declare your #See Ps. 36:5 steadfast love in #[Ps. 119:147, 148]the morning,
and your #See Ps. 36:5 faithfulness by #[Ps. 119:147, 148]night,
3to the music of #See Ps. 33:2the lute and #See Ps. 33:2the harp,
to the melody of #See Ps. 33:2the lyre.
4For you, O Lord, have made me glad by your #See Ps. 90:16 work;
at #Ps. 8:6the works of your hands I sing for joy.
5How #Ps. 111:2; Rev. 15:3 great are your works, O Lord!
Your #Ps. 40:5; 139:17 thoughts are very #[Rom. 11:33]; See Ps. 36:6deep!
6The stupid man cannot know;
the fool cannot understand this:
7that though #See Job 21:7 the wicked sprout like grass
and all #Ps. 94:4; 125:5evildoers flourish,
they are doomed to destruction forever;
8but you, O Lord, are #Ps. 93:4on high forever.
9For behold, your enemies, O Lord,
for behold, your enemies shall perish;
all evildoers shall be #See Ps. 68:1scattered.
10But you have exalted my #See Ps. 75:10; 1 Sam. 2:1 horn like that of #Num. 23:22 the wild ox;
you have #See Ps. 23:5poured over me#92:10 Compare Syriac; the meaning of the Hebrew is uncertain fresh oil.
11My #See Ps. 37:34; 54:7eyes have seen the downfall of my enemies;
my ears have heard the doom of my evil assailants.
12 #
Ps. 1:3; 52:8; 72:7; Prov. 11:28; [Num. 24:6; Isa. 61:3]; See Hos. 14:5-8 The righteous flourish like the palm tree
and grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13They are planted in the house of the Lord;
they flourish in #Ps. 100:4; 116:19; 135:2the courts of our God.
14They still bear fruit in old age;
they are ever full of sap and green,
15 # [Ps. 58:11] to declare that the Lord is upright;
he is my #See Ps. 18:2 rock, and there is #See Job 34:10no unrighteousness in him.
