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
Praise for the Lord’s Goodness.
A Psalm. A Song for the Sabbath day.
1It is a good and delightful thing to give thanks to the Lord,
To sing praises to Your name, O Most High,
2To declare Your lovingkindness in the morning
And Your faithfulness by night,
3With an instrument of ten strings and with the harp,
With a solemn sound on the lyre.
4For You, O Lord, have made me glad by Your works;
At the works of Your hands I joyfully sing.
5How great are Your works, O Lord!
Your thoughts are very deep [beyond man’s understanding].
6A senseless man [in his crude and uncultivated state] knows nothing,
Nor does a [self-righteous] fool understand this:
7That though the wicked sprout up like grass
And all evildoers flourish,
They will be destroyed forever.
8But You, Lord, are on high forever.
9For behold, Your enemies, O Lord,
For behold, Your enemies will perish;
All who do evil will be scattered.
10But my horn [my emblem of strength and power] You have exalted like that of a wild ox;
I am anointed with fresh oil [for Your service].
11My eye has looked on my foes;
My ears hear of the evildoers who rise up against me.
12The righteous will flourish like the date palm [long-lived, upright and useful];
They will grow like a cedar in Lebanon [majestic and stable].
13Planted in the house of the Lord,
They will flourish in the courts of our God.
14[Growing in grace] they will still thrive and bear fruit and prosper in old age;
They will flourish and be #Lit fat and very green.vital and fresh [rich in trust and love and contentment];
15[They are living memorials] to declare that the Lord is upright and faithful [to His promises];
He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.
