- Chapter 92 -

How great are your works!

1
It is good to praise the LORD, and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High,
2
to proclaim Your loving devotion in the morning and Your faithfulness at night
3
with the ten-stringed harp and the melody of the lyre.
4
For You, O LORD, have made me glad by Your deeds; I sing for joy at the works of Your hands.
5
How great are Your works, O LORD, how deep are Your thoughts!
6
A senseless man does not know, and a fool does not understand,
7
that though the wicked sprout like grass, and all evildoers flourish, they will be forever destroyed.
8
But You, O LORD, are exalted forever!
9
For surely Your enemies, O LORD, surely Your enemies will perish; all evildoers will be scattered.
10
But You have exalted my horn like that of a wild ox; with fine oil I have been anointed.
11
My eyes see the downfall of my enemies; my ears hear the wailing of my wicked foes.(a)
12
The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, and grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13
Planted in the house of the LORD, they will flourish in the courts of our God.
14
In old age they will still bear fruit; healthy and green they will remain,
15
to proclaim, “The LORD is upright; He is my Rock, and in Him there is no unrighteousness.”

(a)92:11 Or my ears hear evildoers when they rise against me

How great are your works!

1
It is a good thing to give thanks to the LORD, to sing praises to your name, Most High,
2
to proclaim your loving kindness in the morning, and your faithfulness every night,
3
with the ten-stringed lute, with the harp, and with the melody of the lyre.
4
For you, LORD, have made me glad through your work. I will triumph in the works of your hands.
5
How great are your works, LORD! Your thoughts are very deep.
6
A senseless man doesn’t know, neither does a fool understand this:
7
though the wicked spring up as the grass, and all the evildoers flourish, they will be destroyed forever.
8
But you, LORD, are on high forever more.
9
For behold, your enemies, LORD, for behold, your enemies shall perish. All the evildoers will be scattered.
10
But you have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox. I am anointed with fresh oil.
11
My eye has also seen my enemies. My ears have heard of the wicked enemies who rise up against me.
12
The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree. He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13
They are planted in the LORD’s house. They will flourish in our God’s courts.
14
They will still produce fruit in old age. They will be full of sap and green,
15
to show that the LORD is upright. He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
