New Living Translation

Psalms • Chapter 92

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