Psalms 92
The psalmist expresses gratitude to God, declaring His steadfast love and faithfulness, and finds joy in His works. Despite the temporary prosperity of the wicked, they are ultimately doomed to destruction, while the righteous flourish like palm trees and cedars, bearing fruit even in old age. The psalmist's enemies will perish, but God has exalted and protected him. The psalm concludes by affirming God's uprightness and faithfulness.
1It is good to give thanks to the LORD, to sing praises to your name, O Most High;2to declare your steadfast love in the morning, and your faithfulness by night,3to the music of the lute and the harp, to the melody of the lyre.4For you, O LORD, have made me glad by your work; at the works of your hands I sing for joy.5How great are your works, O LORD! Your thoughts are very deep!6The stupid man cannot know; the fool cannot understand this:7that though the wicked sprout like grass and all evildoers flourish, they are doomed to destruction forever;8but you, O LORD, are on high forever.9For behold, your enemies, O LORD, for behold, your enemies shall perish; all evildoers shall be scattered.10But you have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox; you have poured over me fresh oil.11My eyes have seen the downfall of my enemies; my ears have heard the doom of my evil assailants.12The righteous flourish like the palm tree and grow like a cedar in Lebanon.13They are planted in the house of the LORD; they flourish in the courts of our God.14They still bear fruit in old age; they are ever full of sap and green,15to declare that the LORD is upright; he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
