Psalm 92 Thanksgiving for Vindication

A Psalm. A Song for the Sabbath Day.

¹ 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 dullard cannot know; the stupid cannot understand this:

⁷ 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 your enemies, O Lord, for your enemies shall perish; all evildoers shall be scattered.

¹⁰ But you have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox; you have anointed me with 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 In old age they still produce fruit; they are always green and full of sap,

¹⁵ showing that the Lord is upright; he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
