Psalm 92
Revised Geneva Translation
92 It is a good thing to praise the LORD, and to sing to Your Name, O Most High,
2 to declare Your lovingkindness in the morning and Your truth in the night,
3 upon an instrument of ten strings and upon the viol, with the song upon the harp.
4 For You, LORD, have made me glad by Your works; and I will rejoice in the works of Your hands.
5 O LORD, how glorious are Your works! Your thoughts are very deep.
6 An unwise man does not know it; and a fool does not understand this:
7 that when the wicked grow as the grass and all the workers of wickedness flourish, they shall be destroyed forever.
8 But You, O LORD, are Most High forevermore.
9 For lo, Your enemies, O LORD. For lo, Your enemies shall perish. All the workers of iniquity shall be destroyed.
10 But You shall exalt my horn, like the unicorns, and I shall be anointed with fresh oil.
11 Also, my eye shall see my desire against my enemies; and my ears shall hear my wish against the wicked who rise up against me.
12 The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree and shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13 Such as are planted in the House of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.
14 They shall still bring forth fruit in their old age. They shall be fat and flourishing,
15 to declare that the LORD my Rock is righteous and that no iniquity is in Him.
Psalm 92
New International Version
Psalm 92[a]
A psalm. A song. For the Sabbath day.
1 It is good to praise the Lord
and make music(A) to your name,(B) O Most High,(C)
2 proclaiming your love in the morning(D)
and your faithfulness at night,
3 to the music of the ten-stringed lyre(E)
and the melody of the harp.(F)
4 For you make me glad by your deeds, Lord;
I sing for joy(G) at what your hands have done.(H)
5 How great are your works,(I) Lord,
how profound your thoughts!(J)
6 Senseless people(K) do not know,
fools do not understand,
7 that though the wicked spring up like grass
and all evildoers flourish,
they will be destroyed forever.(L)
8 But you, Lord, are forever exalted.
9 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)”
