Psalm 92

¹ IT IS a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord * and to sing praises unto thy Name, O most Highest;

² To tell of thy loving-kindness early in the morning * and of thy truth in the night-season;

³ Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the lute * upon a loud instrument, and upon the harp.

⁴ For thou, Lord, hast made me glad through thy works * and I will rejoice in giving praise for the operations of thy hands.

⁵ O Lord, how glorious are thy works * thy thoughts are very deep.

⁶ An unwise man doth not well consider this * and a fool doth not understand it.

⁷ When the ungodly are green as the grass, and when all the workers of wickedness do flourish * then shall they be destroyed for ever; but thou, Lord, art the most Highest for evermore.

⁸ For lo, thine enemies, O Lord, lo, thine enemies shall perish * and all the workers of wickedness shall be destroyed.

⁹ But mine horn shall be exalted like the horn of an unicorn * for I am anointed with fresh oil.

¹⁰ Mine eye also shall see his lust of mine enemies * and mine ear shall hear his desire of the wicked that arise up against me.

¹¹ The righteous shall flourish like a palm-tree * and shall spread abroad like a cedar in Libanus.

¹² Such as are planted in the house of the Lord * shall flourish in the courts of the house of our God.

¹³ They also shall bring forth more fruit in their age * and shall be fat and well-liking.

¹⁴ That they may shew how true the Lord my strength is * and that there is no unrighteousness in him.
