Psalm 92 :: New International Version (NIV)

Psa 92:1 [fn]A psalm. A song. For the Sabbath day. It is good to praise the LORD and make music to your name, O Most High,

Psa 92:2proclaiming your love in the morning and your faithfulness at night,

Psa 92:3to the music of the ten-stringed lyre and the melody of the harp.

Psa 92:4For you make me glad by your deeds, LORD; I sing for joy at what your hands have done.

Psa 92:5How great are your works, LORD, how profound your thoughts!

Psa 92:6Senseless people do not know, fools do not understand,

Psa 92:7that though the wicked spring up like grass and all evildoers flourish, they will be destroyed forever.

Psa 92:8But you, LORD, are forever exalted.

Psa 92:9For surely your enemies, LORD, surely your enemies will perish; all evildoers will be scattered.

Psa 92:10You have exalted my horn[fn] like that of a wild ox; fine oils have been poured on me.

Psa 92:11My eyes have seen the defeat of my adversaries; my ears have heard the rout of my wicked foes.

Psa 92:12The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon;

Psa 92:13planted in the house of the LORD, they will flourish in the courts of our God.

Psa 92:14They will still bear fruit in old age, they will stay fresh and green,

Psa 92:15proclaiming, “The LORD is upright; he is my Rock, and there is no wickedness in him.”

In Hebrew texts 92:1-15 is numbered 92:2-16.

Horn here symbolizes strength.
