Psalm 92

CM/CMD · 8·6·8·6 (D)

A Psalm or Song for the sabbath day.

1 It is a good thing to give thanks

Jehovah thee unto:

unto thy name praises to sing,

O thou most high also.

2 Thy lovingkindness to show forth

within the morning light:

also thy truth, and faithfulness,

to show forth every night.

3 Upon a ten string’d instrument,

and psaltery upon:

upon the solemn sounding harp,

a meditation.

4 For through thy work, O Lord, thou hast

me caused to rejoice:

and in the workings of thy hands

I will triumph with voice.

5 O Lord, how mighty are thy works:

thy thoughts are very deep.

6 The brutish knows not; nor the fool

this in his heart doth keep.

7 When as the wicked do spring up

ev’n like the grass unto,

and all that work iniquity

when as they flourish do:

it’s that they then may be destroy’d

to perpetuity.

8 But thou, Jehovah, dost abide

for evermore most high.

9 For lo, thy foes, for lo, O Lord,

thy foes they perish shall:

the workers of iniquity

they shall be scatter’d all.

10 But like the unicorns my horn

thou shalt exalt on high:

and with fresh oil in mine old age

anointed be shall I.

11 Also mine eye shall see my wish

upon mine enemies:

mine ear shall hear of wicked ones,

that up against me rise.

12 Like to the palm tree flourish shall

he that is righteous:

like to a cedar he shall grow

that is in Lebanon.

13 They that within Jehovah’s house

are planted stedfastly:

within the courts of our God they

shall flourish pleasantly.

14 Their fruit they shall in their old age

continue forth to bring;

they shall be fat, yea likewise they

shall still be flourishing;

15 To show that upright is the Lord:

my refuge strong is he,

also that there is not in him

any iniquity.
