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,

3 Upon an [c]instrument of ten strings, and upon the viol, with the song upon the harp.

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.
14 ¶ Then the Lord God said to the serpent, [a]Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field: upon thy belly shalt thou go, and [b]dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life.

17 ¶ Also to Adam he said, Because thou hast obeyed the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, (whereof I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it) [g]cursed is the earth for thy sake: in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life.
18 [h]Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee, and thou shalt eat the herb of the field.
19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread till thou return to the earth: for out of it wast thou taken, because thou art dust, and to dust shalt thou return.

7 Thou [f]madest him a little inferior to the Angels: thou crownedst him with [g]glory and honor, and hast set him above the works of thine hands.
8 (B)Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. And in that he hath put all things in subjection under him, he left nothing that should not be subject unto him. [h]But we yet see not all things subdued unto him,
