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.

Psalms 92
92
A psalm. A song to be sung on the Sabbath Day.
1It is good to give thanks to the Lord,
to sing praises to the Most High.
2It is good to proclaim your unfailing love in the morning,
your faithfulness in the evening,
3accompanied by a ten-stringed instrument, a harp,
and the melody of a lyre.
4You thrill me, Lord, with all you have done for me!
I sing for joy because of what you have done.
5O Lord, what great works you do!
And how deep are your thoughts.
6Only a simpleton would not know,
and only a fool would not understand this:
7Though the wicked sprout like weeds
and evildoers flourish,
they will be destroyed forever.
8But you, O Lord, will be exalted forever.
9Your enemies, Lord, will surely perish;
all evildoers will be scattered.
10But you have made me as strong as a wild ox.
You have anointed me with the finest oil.
11My eyes have seen the downfall of my enemies;
my ears have heard the defeat of my wicked opponents.
12But the godly will flourish like palm trees
and grow strong like the cedars of Lebanon.
13For they are transplanted to the Lord’s own house.
They flourish in the courts of our God.
14Even in old age they will still produce fruit;
they will remain vital and green.
15They will declare, “The Lord is just!
He is my rock!
There is no evil in him!”
