Psalm 92
English Standard Version
How Great Are Your Works
A Psalm. A Song for the Sabbath.
92 (A)It is good to give thanks to the Lord,
to sing praises to your name, (B)O Most High;
2 to declare your (C)steadfast love in (D)the morning,
and your (E)faithfulness by (F)night,
3 to the music of (G)the lute and (H)the harp,
to the melody of (I)the lyre.
4 For you, O Lord, have made me glad by your (J)work;
at (K)the works of your hands I sing for joy.
5 How (L)great are your works, O Lord!
Your (M)thoughts are very (N)deep!
6 The stupid man cannot know;
the fool cannot understand this:
7 that though (O)the wicked sprout like grass
and all (P)evildoers flourish,
they are doomed to destruction forever;
8 but you, O Lord, are (Q)on high forever.
9 For behold, your enemies, O Lord,
for behold, your enemies shall perish;
all evildoers shall be (R)scattered.
10 But you have exalted my (S)horn like that of (T)the wild ox;
you have (U)poured over me[a] fresh oil.
11 My (V)eyes have seen the downfall of my enemies;
my ears have heard the doom of my evil assailants.
12 (W)The righteous flourish like the palm tree
and grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13 They are planted in the house of the Lord;
they flourish in (X)the courts of our God.
14 They still bear fruit in old age;
they are ever full of sap and green,
15 (Y)to declare that the Lord is upright;
he is my (Z)rock, and there is (AA)no unrighteousness in him.

Psalm 92
God’s Love and Faithfulness
A psalm. A song for the Sabbath day.
1 It is good to praise Yahweh,
to sing praise to Your name, Most High,(A)
2 to declare Your faithful love in the morning
and Your faithfulness at night,(B)
3 with a ten-stringed harp
and the music of a lyre.(C)
4 For You have made me rejoice, Lord,
by what You have done;
I will shout for joy
because of the works of Your hands.(D)
5 How magnificent are Your works, Lord,
how profound Your thoughts!(E)
6 A stupid person does not know,
a fool does not understand this:(F)
7 though the wicked sprout like grass
and all evildoers flourish,
they will be eternally destroyed.(G)
8 But You, Lord, are exalted forever.(H)
9 For indeed, Lord, Your enemies—
indeed, Your enemies will perish;
all evildoers will be scattered.(I)
10 You have lifted up my horn(J)
like that of a wild ox;
I have been anointed[a] with oil.(K)
11 My eyes look down on my enemies;
my ears hear evildoers when they attack me.(L)
12 The righteous thrive like a palm tree
and grow like a cedar tree in Lebanon.(M)
13 Planted in the house of the Lord,
they thrive in the courts of our God.(N)
14 They will still bear fruit in old age,
healthy and green,(O)
15 to declare: “The Lord is just;
He is my rock,
and there is no unrighteousness in Him.”(P)
