Psalms 92

1The Lord hath reigned, he is clothed with beauty: the Lord is clothed with strength, and hath girded himself. For he hath established the world which shall not be moved.

1 It is good to give thanks unto Jehovah, and to sing psalms unto thy name, O Most High;

1 It is a good thing to give praise to the Lord, and to make melody to your name, O Most High;

2My throne is prepared from of old: thou art from everlasting.

2 To declare thy loving-kindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness in the nights,

2To make clear your mercy in the morning, and your unchanging faith every night;

3The floods have lifted up, O Lord: the floods have lifted up their voice. The floods have lifted up their waves,

3 Upon an instrument of ten strings and upon the lute; upon the Higgaion with the harp.

3On a ten-corded instrument, and on an instrument of music with a quiet sound.

4With the noise of many waters. Wonderful are the surges of the sea: wonderful is the Lord on high.

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

4For you, O Lord, have made me glad through your work; I will have joy in the works of your hands.

5Thy testimonies are become exceedingly credible: holiness becometh thy house, O Lord, unto length of days.

5 Jehovah, how great are thy works! Thy thoughts are very deep:

5O Lord, how great are your works! and your thoughts are very deep.

15 To shew that Jehovah is upright: [he is] my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

15For a sign that the Lord is upright; he is my Rock, there is no deceit in him.
