# Psalms 92

*God's goodness portrayed. A Psalm or Song for the sabbath day.*

**1** It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O Most High;
**2** To show forth thy loving-kindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,
**3** Upon an instrument often strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound. 63 2P
**4** For thou, Lord, hast made me glad through thy work; I will triumph in the works of thy hands.
**5** O Lord, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep.
**6** A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this.
**7** When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever;
**8** But thou, Lord, art most high for evermore.
**9** For, lo, thine enemies, O Lord, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
**10** But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of a unicorn; I shall be anointed with fresh oil.
**11** Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies, and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me.
**12** The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree; he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
**13** Those that be planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God.
**14** They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;
**15** To show that the Lord is upright; he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
