Psalm 92

¹It is good to give thanks to the LORD ,

to sing praises to your name, Most High;

²to proclaim your loyal love in the morning,

³with the ten-stringed harp,

⁴because you’ve made me happy, LORD ,

by your acts.

I sing with joy because of your handiwork.

⁵How awesome are your works, LORD !

Your thoughts are so deep!

⁶Ignorant people don’t know—

fools don’t understand this:

⁷though the wicked spring up like grass

and all evildoers seem to blossom,

they do so only to be destroyed forever.

⁸But you, LORD , are exalted forever!

⁹Look at your enemies, LORD !

Look at how your enemies die,

how all evildoers are scattered abroad!

¹⁰But you’ve made me as strong as a wild ox.

I’m soaked in precious ointment.

¹¹My eyes have seen my enemies’ defeat;

my ears have heard the downfall of my evil foes.

¹²The righteous will spring up like a palm tree.

They will grow strong like a cedar of Lebanon.

¹³Those who have been replanted in the LORD ’s house

will spring up in the courtyards of our God.

¹⁴They will bear fruit even when old and gray;

they will remain lush and fresh
