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.

God’s Love and Faithfulness
A psalm. A song for the Sabbath day.
1It is good to praise Yahweh,
to sing praise to Your name, Most High, # Ps 135:3; 147:1
2to declare Your faithful love in the morning
and Your faithfulness at night, # Ps 59:16; 89:1; Lm 3:22-23
3with a ten-stringed harp
and the music of a lyre. # Ps 33:2
4For You have made me rejoice, Lord,
by what You have done;
I will shout for joy
because of the works of Your hands. # Ps 40:5; 143:5
5How magnificent are Your works, Lord,
how profound Your thoughts! # Ps 139:17; Is 55:8-9
6A stupid person does not know,
a fool does not understand this: # Ps 73:22
7though the wicked sprout like grass
and all evildoers flourish,
they will be eternally destroyed. # Ps 90:5-6
8But You, Lord, are exalted forever. # Ps 93:4
9For indeed, Lord, Your enemies —
indeed, Your enemies will perish;
all evildoers will be scattered. # Ps 37:20; 68:1
10You have lifted up my horn # Ps 89:17,24; 112:9
like that of a wild ox;
I have been anointed # Syr reads You have anointed me with oil. # Ps 45:7
11My eyes look down on my enemies;
my ears hear evildoers when they attack me. # Ps 37:34; 54:7
12The righteous thrive like a palm tree
and grow like a cedar tree in Lebanon. # Ps 1:3; Is 61:3; Jr 17:8
13Planted in the house of the Lord,
they thrive in the courts of our God. # Is 60:21
14They will still bear fruit in old age,
healthy and green, # Is 37:31; 46:4
15to declare: “The Lord is just;
He is my rock,
and there is no unrighteousness in Him.” # Dt 32:4; Ps 18:2; 94:22
