Psalm 92

New International Version

Psalm 92^[a]

A psalm. A song. For the Sabbath day.

¹It is good to praise the Lord
    and make music^(A) to your name,^(B) O Most High,^(C)
²proclaiming your love in the morning^(D)
    and your faithfulness at night,
³to the music of the ten-stringed lyre^(E)
    and the melody of the harp.^(F)

⁴For you make me glad by your deeds, Lord;
    I sing for joy^(G) at what your hands have done.^(H)
⁵How great are your works,^(I) Lord,
    how profound your thoughts!^(J)
⁶Senseless people^(K) do not know,
    fools do not understand,
⁷that though the wicked spring up like grass
    and all evildoers flourish,
    they will be destroyed forever.^(L)

⁸But you, Lord, are forever exalted.

⁹For surely your enemies^(M), Lord,
    surely your enemies will perish;
    all evildoers will be scattered.^(N)
¹⁰You have exalted my horn^[b]^(O) like that of a wild ox;^(P)
    fine oils^(Q) have been poured on me.
¹¹My eyes have seen the defeat of my adversaries;
    my ears have heard the rout of my wicked foes.^(R)

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

Psalm 115

New International Version

Psalm 115^(A)

¹Not to us, Lord, not to us
but to your name be the glory,^(B)
because of your love and faithfulness.^(C)

²Why do the nations say,
    “Where is their God?”^(D)
³Our God is in heaven;^(E)
    he does whatever pleases him.^(F)
⁴But their idols are silver and gold,^(G)
    made by human hands.^(H)
⁵They have mouths, but cannot speak,^(I)
    eyes, but cannot see.
⁶They have ears, but cannot hear,
    noses, but cannot smell.
⁷They have hands, but cannot feel,
    feet, but cannot walk,
    nor can they utter a sound with their throats.
⁸Those who make them will be like them,
    and so will all who trust in them.

⁹All you Israelites, trust^(J) in the Lord—
    he is their help and shield.
¹⁰House of Aaron,^(K) trust in the Lord—
    he is their help and shield.
¹¹You who fear him,^(L) trust in the Lord—
    he is their help and shield.

¹²The Lord remembers^(M) us and will bless us:^(N)
    He will bless his people Israel,
    he will bless the house of Aaron,
¹³he will bless those who fear^(O) the Lord—
    small and great alike.

¹⁴May the Lord cause you to flourish,^(P)
both you and your children.
¹⁵May you be blessed by the Lord,
the Maker of heaven^(Q) and earth.

¹⁶The highest heavens belong to the Lord,^(R)
    but the earth he has given^(S) to mankind.
¹⁷It is not the dead^(T) who praise the Lord,
    those who go down to the place of silence;
¹⁸it is we who extol the Lord,^(U)
    both now and forevermore.^(V)
