Psalms 92
It is good to praise the Lord and declare His mercy and truth. The Lord's works are great and His thoughts are deep, but the foolish and senseless will not understand. The wicked will rise but ultimately perish, while the righteous will flourish like palm trees and cedars, enduring in fruitful old age. The righteous will proclaim the Lord's righteousness and lack of iniquity.
A Canticle Psalm. On the day of the Sabbath. It is good to confess to the Lord and to sing psalms to your name, O Most Highto announce your mercy in the morning, and your truth throughout the nightupon the ten strings, upon the psaltery, with a canticle, upon stringed instrumentsFor you, O Lord, have delighted me with your doings, and I will exult in the works of your handsHow great are your works, O Lord! Your thoughts have been made exceedingly deepA foolish man will not know these things, and a senseless one will not understandwhen sinners will have risen up like grass, and when all those who work iniquity will have appeared, that they shall pass away, age after ageBut you, O Lord, are the Most High for all eternityFor behold your enemies, O Lord, for behold your enemies will perish, and all those who work iniquity will be dispersedAnd my horn will be exalted like that of the single-horned beast, and my old age will be exalted in fruitful mercyAnd my eye has looked down upon my enemies, and my ear will hear of the malignant rising up against meThe just one will flourish like the palm tree. He will be multiplied like the cedar of LebanonThose planted in the house of the Lord will flourish in the courts of the house of our GodThey will still be multiplied in a fruitful old age, and they will endure wellso that they may announce that the Lord our God is righteous and that there is no iniquity in him
