Psalm 92
New International Version

### Psalm 92[a]

#### A psalm. A song. For the Sabbath day.

1 It is good to praise theLord
and make music(A)to your name,(B)O Most High,(C)
2 proclaiming your love in the morning(D)
and your faithfulness at night,
3 to the music of the ten-stringed lyre(E)
and the melody of the harp.(F)

4 For you make me glad by your deeds,Lord;
I sing for joy(G)at what your hands have done.(H)
5 How great are your works,(I)Lord,
how profound your thoughts!(J)
6 Senseless people(K)do not know,
fools do not understand,
7 that though the wicked spring up like grass
and all evildoers flourish,
they will be destroyed forever.(L)

8 But you,Lord, are forever exalted.

9 For surely your enemies(M),Lord,
surely your enemies will perish;
all evildoers will be scattered.(N)
10 You have exalted my horn[b](O)like that of a wild ox;(P)
fine oils(Q)have been poured on me.
11 My eyes have seen the defeat of my adversaries;
my ears have heard the rout of my wicked foes.(R)

12 The righteous will flourish(S)like a palm tree,
they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon;(T)
13 planted in the house of theLord,
they will flourish in the courts of our God.(U)
14 They will still bear fruit(V)in old age,
they will stay fresh and green,
15 proclaiming, “TheLordis upright;
he is my Rock, and there is no wickedness in him.(W)”
