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