Psalm 92 :: American Standard Version (ASV)

Praise for Jehovah's Goodness.

Psa 92:1
A Psalm, a Song for the sabbath day.
It is a good thing to give thanks unto Jehovah,
And to sing praises unto thy name, O Most High;
Psa 92:2
To show forth thy lovingkindness in the morning,
And thy faithfulness every night,
Psa 92:3
With an instrument of ten strings, and with the psaltery;
With a solemn sound upon the harp.
Psa 92:4
For thou, Jehovah, hast made me glad through thy work:
I will triumph in the works of thy hands.
Psa 92:5
How great are thy works, O Jehovah!
Thy thoughts are very deep.
Psa 92:6
A brutish man knoweth not;
Neither doth a fool understand this:
Psa 92:7
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.
Psa 92:8
But thou, O Jehovah, art on high for evermore.
Psa 92:9
For, lo, thine enemies, O Jehovah,
For, lo, thine enemies shall perish;
All the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
Psa 92:10
But my horn hast thou exalted like the horn of the wild-ox:
I am anointed with fresh oil.
Psa 92:11
Mine eye also hath seen my desire on mine enemies,
Mine ears have heard my desire of the evil-doers that rise up against me.
Psa 92:12
The righteous shall flourish like the palm-tree:
He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
Psa 92:13
They are planted in the house of Jehovah;
They shall flourish in the courts of our God.
Psa 92:14
They shall still bring forth fruit in old age;
They shall be full of sap and green:
Psa 92:15
To show that Jehovah is upright;
He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
