92 It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O Most High:

To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,

Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound.

For thou, Lord, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.

O Lord, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep.

A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this.

When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever:

But thou, Lord, art most high for evermore.

For, lo, thine enemies, O Lord, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

10 But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.

11 Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies, and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me.

12 The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

13 Those that be planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God.

14 They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;

15 To shew that the Lord is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

Praise for the Lord’s Goodness.

A Psalm. A Song for the Sabbath day.

92 It is a good and delightful thing to give thanks to the Lord,
To sing praises to Your name, O Most High,

To declare Your lovingkindness in the morning
And Your faithfulness by night,

With an instrument of ten strings and with the harp,
With a solemn sound on the lyre.

For You, O Lord, have made me glad by Your works;
At the works of Your hands I joyfully sing.


How great are Your works, O Lord!
Your thoughts are very deep [beyond man’s understanding].

A senseless man [in his crude and uncultivated state] knows nothing,
Nor does a [self-righteous] fool understand this:

That though the wicked sprout up like grass
And all evildoers flourish,
They will be destroyed forever.

But You, Lord, are on high forever.

For behold, Your enemies, O Lord,
For behold, Your enemies will perish;
All who do evil will be scattered.

10 
But 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].
11 
My eye has looked on my foes;
My ears hear of the evildoers who rise up against me.
12 
The righteous will flourish like the date palm [long-lived, upright and useful];
They will grow like a cedar in Lebanon [majestic and stable].
13 
Planted 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 [a]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.(A)

Alabanza por la bondad del Señor

Salmo. Cántico para el día de reposo.

92 Bueno es dar gracias al Señor(A),
Y cantar alabanzas a Tu nombre(B), oh Altísimo;
Anunciar por la mañana Tu bondad(C),
Y Tu fidelidad por las noches(D),
Con laúd de diez cuerdas(E) y con el arpa(F),
Con la música sonora de la lira(G).
Porque Tú, oh Señor, me has alegrado con Tus obras(H),
Cantaré con gozo(I) ante las obras de Tus manos(J).

¡Qué grandes son Tus obras(K), oh Señor,
Cuán profundos(L) Tus pensamientos(M)!
El hombre torpe no tiene conocimiento,
Y el necio no entiende esto(N):
Que cuando los impíos brotaron como la hierba(O),
Y florecieron todos los que hacían iniquidad(P),
Solo fue para ser destruidos para siempre(Q).
Pero Tú, oh Señor, excelso eres eternamente(R).
Porque Tus enemigos, Señor,
Porque Tus enemigos perecerán(S);
Serán esparcidos todos los que hacen iniquidad(T).

10 Pero Tú has exaltado mi poder(U) como el del búfalo;
He sido ungido con aceite fresco(V).
11 Mis ojos satisfechos han mirado(W) a los que me acechaban,
Y oyen mis oídos de los malhechores que se levantan contra mí.
12 El justo florecerá(X) como la palma,
Crecerá como cedro en el Líbano(Y).
13 Plantados en la casa del Señor(Z),
Florecerán en los atrios de nuestro Dios(AA).
14 Aun en la vejez darán fruto(AB);
Estarán vigorosos y muy verdes,
15 Para anunciar cuán recto es el Señor(AC);
Él es mi Roca(AD), y que en Él no hay injusticia(AE).
