Psalms 92

How Great Are Your Works!

1A psalm, a song for the Shabbat day.

2It is good to give thanks to the LORD, and to sing praises to your name, Most High^a,
3to declare your lovingkindness in the morning, and your faithfulness in the nights,
4upon the ten-stringed lyre and upon the lute, upon the melody of the harp.
5For you have made me glad, O LORD, by your work; in the works of your hands I sing for joy.
6How great are your works, the LORD! Very deep are your thoughts.
7A brutish man^b does not know, and a fool does not understand this.
8When the wicked spring up like grass, and all the workers of iniquity flourish, it is that they may be destroyed forever.
9But you are on high forever, the LORD.
10For behold, your enemies, O LORD, for behold, your enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
11But you have exalted my horn like that of a wild ox; I am anointed with fresh oil.
12And my eye has looked on my foes; my ears hear of the evildoers who rise up against me.
13The righteous flourishes like the palm tree; he grows like a cedar in Lebanon.
14Planted in the house of the LORD, in the courts of our God they flourish.
15Still they bear fruit in old age; they are full of sap and green,
16to declare that the LORD is upright; my Rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
