Psalms 92 / 150
- 1
(How Great Are Your Works)A Psalm. A Song for the Sabbath.
It is good to give thanks to the Lord,
to sing praises to your name, O Most High;
- 2
to declare your steadfast love in the morning,
and your faithfulness by night,
- 3
to the music of the lute and the harp,
to the melody of the lyre.
- 4
For you, O Lord, have made me glad by your work;
at the works of your hands I sing for joy.
- 5
How great are your works, O Lord!
Your thoughts are very deep!
- 6
The stupid man cannot know;
the fool cannot understand this:
- 7
that though the wicked sprout like grass
and all evildoers flourish,
they are doomed to destruction forever;
- 8
but you, O Lord, are on high forever.
- 9
For behold, your enemies, O Lord,
for behold, your enemies shall perish;
all evildoers shall be scattered.
- 10
But you have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox;
you have poured over me fresh oil.
- 11
My eyes have seen the downfall of my enemies;
my ears have heard the doom of my evil assailants.
- 12
The righteous flourish like the palm tree
and grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
- 13
They are planted in the house of the Lord;
they flourish in the courts of our God.
- 14
They still bear fruit in old age;
they are ever full of sap and green,
- 15
to declare that the Lord is upright;
he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
