Alabanza a la bondad de Dios

Salmo. Cántico para el día de reposo.

92 ¡Cuán bueno es alabarte, Señor!
Bueno es, Altísimo, cantar salmos a tu nombre,
anunciar tu misericordia por la mañana,
y tu fidelidad todas las noches,
en el decacordio y en el salterio,
y con tono suave en el arpa.

Tú, Señor, me has alegrado con tus obras;
yo me regocijo por las obras de tus manos.
Muy grandes son tus obras, Señor,
y muy profundos tus pensamientos.

La gente necia no lo sabe;
la gente insensata no lo entiende:
si los impíos brotan como la hierba,
y todos los inicuos prosperan,
es para ser destruidos para siempre.
¡Pero tú, Señor, por siempre estás en las alturas!

Bien puedo ver, Señor, a tus enemigos;
bien puedo ver que tus enemigos perecerán,
¡que todos los malvados serán esparcidos!
10 Pero tú me darás las fuerzas del búfalo,
y me ungirás con aceite fresco.
11 Mis ojos verán la derrota de mis enemigos;
¡mis oídos oirán los gritos de angustia de mis adversarios!

12 Los justos florecerán como las palmeras;
crecerán como los cedros del Líbano.
13 Serán plantados en la casa del Señor,
y florecerán en los atrios de nuestro Dios.
14 Aun en su vejez darán frutos
y se mantendrán sanos y vigorosos
15 para anunciar que el Señor es mi fortaleza,
y que él es recto y en él no hay injusticia.

Psalm 92[a]

A psalm. A song. For the Sabbath day.

It is good to praise the Lord
    and make music(A) to your name,(B) O Most High,(C)
proclaiming your love in the morning(D)
    and your faithfulness at night,
to the music of the ten-stringed lyre(E)
    and the melody of the harp.(F)

For you make me glad by your deeds, Lord;
    I sing for joy(G) at what your hands have done.(H)
How great are your works,(I) Lord,
    how profound your thoughts!(J)
Senseless people(K) do not know,
    fools do not understand,
that though the wicked spring up like grass
    and all evildoers flourish,
    they will be destroyed forever.(L)

But you, Lord, are forever exalted.

For surely your enemies(M), Lord,
    surely your enemies will perish;
    all evildoers will be scattered.(N)
10 You have exalted my horn[b](O) like that of a wild ox;(P)
    fine oils(Q) have been poured on me.
11 My eyes have seen the defeat of my adversaries;
    my ears have heard the rout of my wicked foes.(R)

12 The righteous will flourish(S) like a palm tree,
    they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon;(T)
13 planted in the house of the Lord,
    they will flourish in the courts of our God.(U)
14 They will still bear fruit(V) in old age,
    they will stay fresh and green,
15 proclaiming, “The Lord is upright;
    he is my Rock, and there is no wickedness in him.(W)

Psalm 92

It Is Good to Praise the Lord

Heading
A psalm. A song. For the Sabbath.

A Call to Praise

It is good to give thanks to the Lord,
to make music to your name, O Most High,
to proclaim your mercy in the morning
and your faithfulness every night,
with a ten-stringed instrument and with a harp,
with a melody on a lyre.

The Blessings of Praise

Yes, you make me glad by your work, O Lord.
I sing loudly at the works of your hands.
How great are your works, O Lord.
Your thoughts are very deep!

The Folly and Fall of the Wicked

The senseless man does not know,
and the fool does not understand this—
when the wicked spring up like weeds,
and all evildoers bloom like flowers,
they will be destroyed forever.

Central Affirmation

But you are exalted forever, O Lord.

The Fall of the Wicked

Without a doubt your enemies, O Lord,
without a doubt your enemies will perish.
All evildoers will be scattered.

The Blessing of the Righteous

10 But you have raised my horn like that of a wild ox.[a]
I am drenched with fresh oil.[b]
11 My eyes have looked in triumph over my adversaries.
When evildoers rise against me, my ears hear their defeat.

12 The righteous will shoot up like a palm tree.
They will grow tall like a cedar in Lebanon.
13 Planted in the house of the Lord,
they will shoot up in the courtyards of our God.
14 They will still produce fruit in old age.
They will stay fresh and green.

Closing Praise

15 Yes, they can proclaim, “The Lord is upright.
He is my Rock, and he does no wrong.”
