←Prev   Psalms 92 as rendered by/in  Next→ 


92:1  It is a good and delightful thing to give thanks to the Lord, to sing praises [with musical accompaniment] to Your name, O Most High,
92:2  To show forth Your loving-kindness in the morning and Your faithfulness by night,
92:3  With an instrument of ten strings and with the lute, with a solemn sound upon the lyre.
92:4  For You, O Lord, have made me glad by Your works; at the deeds of Your hands I joyfully sing.
92:5  How great are Your doings, O Lord! Your thoughts are very deep.
92:6  A man in his rude and uncultivated state knows not, neither does a [self-confident] fool understand this:
92:7  That though the wicked spring up like grass and all evildoers flourish, they are doomed to be destroyed forever.
92:8  But You, Lord, are on high forever.
92:9  For behold, Your adversaries, O Lord, for behold, Your enemies shall perish; all the evildoers shall be scattered.
92:10  But my horn (emblem of excessive strength and stately grace) You have exalted like that of a wild ox; I am anointed with fresh oil.
92:11  My eye looks upon those who lie in wait for me; my ears hear the evildoers that rise up against me.
92:12  The [uncompromisingly] righteous shall flourish like the palm tree [be long-lived, stately, upright, useful, and fruitful]; they shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon [majestic, stable, durable, and incorruptible].
92:13  Planted in the house of the Lord, they shall flourish in the courts of our God.
92:14  [Growing in grace] they shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be full of sap [of spiritual vitality] and [rich in the] verdure [of trust, love, and contentment].
92:15  [They are living memorials] to show that the Lord is upright and faithful to His promises; He is my Rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.
