A Song of Praise (PSA 92:1-15)

[92:1] How good it is to give thanks to you, O Lord, to sing in your honor, O Most High God,

[92:2] to proclaim your constant love every morning and your faithfulness every night,

[92:3] with the music of stringed instruments and with melody on the harp.

[92:4] Your mighty deeds, O Lord, make me glad; because of what you have done, I sing for joy.

[92:5] How great are your actions, Lord! How deep are your thoughts!

[92:6] This is something a fool cannot know; someone who is stupid cannot understand:

[92:7] the wicked may grow like weeds, those who do wrong may prosper; yet they will be totally destroyed,

[92:8] because you, Lord, are supreme forever.

[92:9] We know that your enemies will die, and all the wicked will be defeated.

[92:10] You have made me as strong as a wild ox; you have blessed me with happiness.

[92:11] I have seen the defeat of my enemies and heard the cries of the wicked.

[92:12] The righteous will flourish like palm trees; they will grow like the cedars of Lebanon.

[92:13] They are like trees planted in the house of the Lord, that flourish in the Temple of our God,

[92:14] that still bear fruit in old age and are always green and strong.

[92:15] This shows that the Lord is just, that there is no wrong in my protector.
