| Chapter 92 |
1 |
A Psalm. A Song for the Sabbath.
It is a good thing to give praise to the Lord, and to make melody to your name, O Most High; --
|
2 |
To make clear your mercy in the morning, and your unchanging faith every night; --
|
3 |
On a ten-corded instrument, and on an instrument of music with a quiet sound. --
|
4 |
For you, O Lord, have made me glad through your work; I will have joy in the works of your hands. --
|
5 |
O Lord, how great are your works! and your thoughts are very deep. --
|
6 |
A man without sense has no knowledge of this; and a foolish man may not take it in. --
|
7 |
When the sinners come up like the grass, and all the workers of evil do well for themselves, it is so that their end may be eternal destruction. --
|
8 |
But you, O Lord, are on high for ever. --
|
9 |
For see! your haters, O Lord, will be put to death; all the workers of evil will be put to flight; --
|
10 |
But my horn is lifted up like the horn of the ox: the best oil is flowing on my head. --
|
11 |
My eyes have seen trouble come on my haters; my ears have news of the fate of the evil-doers who have come up against me. --
|
12 |
The good man will be like a tall tree in his strength; his growth will be as the wide-stretching trees of Lebanon. --
|
13 |
Those who are planted in the house of the Lord will come up tall and strong in his gardens. --
|
14 |
They will give fruit even when they are old; they will be fertile and full of growth; --
|
15 |
For a sign that the Lord is upright; he is my Rock, there is no deceit in him. --
