Psalm 92

New International Version

Psalm 92^[a]

A psalm. A song. For the Sabbath day.

¹It is good to praise the Lord
    and make music^(A) to your name,^(B) O Most High,^(C)
²proclaiming your love in the morning^(D)
    and your faithfulness at night,
³to the music of the ten-stringed lyre^(E)
    and the melody of the harp.^(F)

⁴For you make me glad by your deeds, Lord;
    I sing for joy^(G) at what your hands have done.^(H)
⁵How great are your works,^(I) Lord,
    how profound your thoughts!^(J)
⁶Senseless people^(K) do not know,
    fools do not understand,
⁷that though the wicked spring up like grass
    and all evildoers flourish,
    they will be destroyed forever.^(L)

⁸But you, Lord, are forever exalted.

⁹For surely your enemies^(M), Lord,
    surely your enemies will perish;
    all evildoers will be scattered.^(N)
¹⁰You have exalted my horn^[b]^(O) like that of a wild ox;^(P)
    fine oils^(Q) have been poured on me.
¹¹My eyes have seen the defeat of my adversaries;
    my ears have heard the rout of my wicked foes.^(R)

¹²The righteous will flourish^(S) like a palm tree,
    they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon;^(T)
¹³planted in the house of the Lord,
    they will flourish in the courts of our God.^(U)
¹⁴They will still bear fruit^(V) in old age,
    they will stay fresh and green,
¹⁵proclaiming, “The Lord is upright;
    he is my Rock, and there is no wickedness in him.^(W)”
