Psalms 92

₁How good it is to give thanks to you, O LORD,

to sing in your honour, O Most High God,

₂to proclaim your constant love every morning

and your faithfulness every night,

₃with the music of stringed instruments

and with melody on the harp.

₄Your mighty deeds, O LORD, make me glad;

because of what you have done, I sing for joy.

₅How great are your actions, LORD!

How deep are your thoughts!

₆This is something a fool cannot know;

a stupid person cannot understand:

₇the wicked may grow like weeds,

those who do wrong may prosper;

yet they will be totally destroyed,

₈because you, LORD, are supreme for ever.

₉We know that your enemies will die,

and all the wicked will be defeated.

₁₀You have made me as strong as a wild ox;

you have blessed me with happiness.

₁₁I have seen the defeat of my enemies

and heard the cries of the wicked.

₁₂The righteous will flourish like palm trees;

they will grow like the cedars of Lebanon.

₁₃They are like trees planted in the house of the LORD,

that flourish in the Temple of our God,

₁₄that still bear fruit in old age

and are always green and strong.

₁₅This shows that the LORD is just,

that there is no wrong in my protector.
