Psalms 92
92
A Song of Praise
A song for the day of worship # 92 Ancient Jewish tradition holds that Adam composed this psalm on the first Sabbath of creation, and it was to be sung by the Levites on the Sabbath in the temple.
1It’s so enjoyable to come before you
with uncontainable praises spilling from our hearts!
How we love to sing our praises over and over to you,
to the matchless God, high and exalted over all!
2At each and every sunrise we will be thanking you
for your kindness and your love.
As the sun sets and all through the night,
we will keep proclaiming, “You are so faithful!”
3Melodies of praise will fill the air as every musical instrument, # 92:3 Or “a ten-stringed harp and lyre.”
joined with every heart, overflows with worship.
4No wonder I’m so glad; I can’t keep it in!
Lord, I’m shouting with glee over all you’ve done,
for all you’ve done for me:
5what mighty miracles and your power at work—just to name a few!
Depths of purpose and layers of meaning
saturate everything you do.
6Such amazing mysteries are found within every miracle
that nearly everyone seems to miss.
Those with no discernment can never really discover
the deep and glorious secrets hidden in your ways.
7It’s true the wicked flourish, but only for a moment;
they foolishly forget their destiny with death,
that they will all one day be destroyed forevermore.
8But you, O Lord, are exalted forever
in the highest place of endless glory,
9while your opponents, the workers of wickedness,
will all perish, forever separated from you.
10Your anointing has made me strong and mighty.
You’ve empowered my life for triumph # 92:10 The Septuagint reads “I will raise my horn high like a rhinoceros [Hb. translated as “wild ox”], and in my old age I will still have plenty of oil [anointing].”
by pouring fresh oil over me.
11You’ve said that those lying in wait to pounce on me
would be defeated,
and now it’s happened right in front of my eyes,
and I’ve heard their cries of surrender!
12Yes! Look how you’ve made all your devoted lovers
to flourish like palm trees,
each one growing in victory, standing with strength! # 92:12 Or “growing high like a cedar in Lebanon.” God makes us immortal and immovable.
13You’ve transplanted them into your heavenly courtyard,
where they are thriving before you,
14for in your presence they will still overflow and be anointed.
Even in their old age they will stay fresh,
bearing luscious fruit and abiding faithfully.
15Listen to them! With pleasure they still proclaim:
“You’re so good! You’re my beautiful strength!
You’ve never made a mistake with me.” # 92:15 Or “You are just and never unfair.”

How Great Are Your Works
A Psalm. A Song for the Sabbath.

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.
