Psalms 92

Listen (KJV)

1It is a good thing to give thanks unto Jehovah, And to sing praises unto thy name, O Most High;

2To show forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, And thy faithfulness every night,

3With an instrument of ten strings, and with the psaltery; With a solemn sound upon the harp.

4For thou, Jehovah, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.

5How great are thy works, O Jehovah! Thy thoughts are very deep.

6A brutish man knoweth not; Neither doth a fool understand this:

7When the wicked spring as the grass, And when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; It is that they shall be destroyed for ever.

8But thou, O Jehovah, art on high for evermore.

9For, lo, thine enemies, O Jehovah, For, lo, thine enemies shall perish; All the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

10But my horn hast thou exalted like the horn of the wild-ox: I am anointed with fresh oil.

11Mine eye also hath seen my desireon mine enemies, Mine ears have heard my desire of the evil-doers that rise up against me.

12The righteous shall flourish like the palm-tree: He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

13They are planted in the house of Jehovah; They shall flourish in the courts of our God.

14They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; They shall be full of sap and green:

15To show that Jehovah is upright; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
