Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
92 1 This Psalm was made to be sung on the Sabbath, to stir up the people to acknowledge God, and to praise him in his works: the Prophet rejoiceth therein. 6 But the wicked is not able to consider, that the ungodly, when he is most flourishing, shall most speedily perish. 12 In the end is described the felicity of the just, planted in the house of God to praise the Lord.
A Psalm or song for the [a]Sabbath day.
1 It is a good thing to praise the Lord, and to sing unto thy Name, O most High,
2 To declare thy loving kindness in the [b]morning, and thy truth in the night,
3 Upon an [c]instrument of ten strings, and upon the viol, with the song upon the harp.
4 For thou Lord, hast made me glad by thy [d]works, and I will rejoice in the works of thine hands.
12 The righteous shall [a]flourish like a palm tree, and shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13 Such as be planted in the house of the Lord, shall flourish in the courts of our God.
14 They shall still bring forth fruit in their [b]age: they shall be fat and flourishing,
15 To declare that the Lord my rock is righteous, and that none iniquity is in him.
15 1 (A)A soft answer putteth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.
2 The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools (B)babbleth out foolishness.
3 The eyes of the Lord in every place behold the evil and the good.
4 A wholesome tongue is as a tree of life: but the frowardness thereof is the breaking of the mind.
5 A fool despiseth his father’s instruction, but he that regardeth correction, is prudent.
6 The house of the righteous hath much treasure: but in the revenues of the wicked is [a]trouble.
7 The lips of the wise do spread abroad knowledge: but the heart of the foolish doth not so.
8 The [b]sacrifice of the wicked is abomination unto the Lord: but the prayer of the righteous is acceptable unto him.
9 The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the Lord: but he loveth him that followeth righteousness.
13 ¶ [a]I would not brethren, have you ignorant [b]concerning them [c]which are asleep, that ye sorrow not even as others which have no hope.
14 [d]For if we believe that Jesus is dead, and is risen, even so them which sleep in [e]Jesus, will God [f]bring with him.
15 [g]For this say we unto you by the [h]word of the Lord, that [i]we which live, and are remaining in the coming of the Lord, shall not prevent them which sleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a [j]shout, and with the voice of the Archangel, and (A)with the trumpet of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then shall we which live and remain, be [k]caught up with them also in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18 Wherefore, comfort yourselves one another with these words.
