# Chapter 92
|
||
1 It is good to give thanks to the Lord,
|
||
to sing praises to the Most High.
|
||
2 It is good to proclaim your unfailing love in the morning,
|
||
your faithfulness in the evening,
|
||
3 accompanied by a ten-stringed instrument, a harp,
|
||
and the melody of a lyre.
|
||
4 You thrill me, Lord, with all you have done for me!
|
||
I sing for joy because of what you have done.
|
||
5 O Lord, what great works you do!
|
||
And how deep are your thoughts.
|
||
6 Only a simpleton would not know,
|
||
and only a fool would not understand this:
|
||
7 Though the wicked sprout like weeds
|
||
and evildoers flourish,
|
||
they will be destroyed forever.
|
||
8 But you, O Lord, will be exalted forever.
|
||
9 Your enemies, Lord, will surely perish;
|
||
all evildoers will be scattered.
|
||
10 But you have made me as strong as a wild ox.
|
||
You have anointed me with the finest oil.
|
||
11 My eyes have seen the downfall of my enemies;
|
||
my ears have heard the defeat of my wicked opponents.
|
||
12 But the godly will flourish like palm trees
|
||
and grow strong like the cedars of Lebanon.
|
||
13 For they are transplanted to the Lord’s own house.
|
||
They flourish in the courts of our God.
|
||
14 Even in old age they will still produce fruit;
|
||
they will remain vital and green.
|
||
15 They will declare, “The Lord is just!
|
||
He is my rock!
|
||
There is no evil in him!” |
