Psalm 92

Praise For The LORD'S Goodness.

A Psalm. A Song for the Sabbath day. 1It is a good and delightful thing to give thanks to the LORD,
To sing praises to Your name, O Most High, 2To declare Your lovingkindness in the morning
And Your faithfulness by night, 3With an instrument of ten strings and with the harp,
With a solemn sound on the lyre. 4For You, O LORD, have made me glad by Your works;
At the works of Your hands I joyfully sing. 5How great are Your works, O LORD!
Your thoughts are very deep [beyond man’s understanding]. 6A senseless man [in his crude and uncultivated state] knows nothing,
Nor does a [self-righteous] fool understand this: 7That though the wicked sprout up like grass
And all evildoers flourish,
They will be destroyed forever. 8But You, LORD, are on high forever. 9For behold, Your enemies, O LORD,
For behold, Your enemies will perish;
All who do evil will be scattered. 10But my horn [my emblem of strength and power] You have exalted like that of a wild ox;
I am anointed with fresh oil [for Your service]. 11My eye has looked on my foes;
My ears hear of the evildoers who rise up against me. 12The righteous will flourish like the date palm [long-lived, upright and useful];
They will grow like a cedar in Lebanon [majestic and stable]. 13Planted in the house of the LORD,
They will flourish in the courts of our God. 14[Growing in grace] they will still thrive and bear fruit and prosper in old age;
They will flourish and be vital and fresh [rich in trust and love and contentment]; 15[They are living memorials] to declare that the LORD is upright and faithful [to His promises];
He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.
