Psalms92

Psalm 92 extols the goodness of giving thanks and praise to the LORD, the Most High, for His lovingkindness and faithfulness. It contrasts the temporary flourishing of the wicked, who are destined for destruction, with the eternal exaltation of the LORD. The psalm concludes by affirming that the righteous, planted in God's house, will flourish and bear fruit, testifying to the LORD's uprightness and unwavering nature.

A Call to Worship and Thanksgiving

1
A Psalm. --A Song for the sabbath-day. Good to give thanks to Jehovah, And to sing praises to Thy name, O Most High,
2
To declare in the morning Thy kindness, And Thy faithfulness in the nights.
3
On ten strings and on psaltery, On higgaion, with harp.
4
For Thou hast caused me to rejoice, O Jehovah, in Thy work, Concerning the works of Thy hands I sing.

The Greatness of God and the Folly of the Wicked

5
How great have been Thy works, O Jehovah, Very deep have been Thy thoughts.
6
A brutish man doth not know, And a fool understandeth not this; --
7
When the wicked flourish as a herb, And blossom do all workers of iniquity--For their being destroyed for ever and ever!
8
And Thou art high to the age, O Jehovah.
9
For, lo, Thine enemies, O Jehovah, For, lo, Thine enemies, do perish, Separate themselves do all workers of iniquity.

Assurance of Personal Vindication

10
And Thou exaltest as a reem my horn, I have been anointed with fresh oil.
11
And mine eye looketh on mine enemies, Of those rising up against me, The evil doers, do mine ears hear.

The Enduring Fruitfulness of the Righteous

12
The righteous as a palm-tree flourisheth, As a cedar in Lebanon he groweth.
13
Those planted in the house of Jehovah, In the courts of our God do flourish.
14
Still they bring forth in old age, Fat and flourishing are they,
15
To declare that upright is Jehovah my rock, And there is no perverseness in Him!
