God’s Love and Faithfulness
A psalm. A song for the Sabbath day.
1 It is good to give thanks to the Lord,
to sing praise to your name, Most High, 92:1 Ps 135:3; 147:1
2 to declare your faithful love in the morning
and your faithfulness at night, 92:2 Ps 59:16; 89:1; Lm 3:22–23
3 with a ten-stringed harp 92:3 Or ten-stringed instrument and a harp
and the music of a lyre. 92:3 Ps 33:2
4 For you have made me rejoice, Lord,
by what you have done;
I will shout for joy
because of the works of your hands. 92:4 Ps 40:5; 143:5
5 How magnificent are your works, Lord,
how profound your thoughts! 92:5 Ps 139:17; Is 55:8–9
6 A stupid person does not know,
a fool does not understand this: 92:6 Ps 73:22
7 though the wicked sprout like grass 92:7 Ps 103:15–16; Is 37:27; 40:6–7
and all evildoers flourish,
they will be eternally destroyed. 92:7 Ps 37:1–2; 73:12–20; 90:5–6; Mal 4:1; Jms 1:10–11
8 But you, Lord, are exalted forever. 92:8 Ps 93:4
9 For indeed, Lord, your enemies —
indeed, your enemies will perish;
all evildoers will be scattered. 92:9 Ps 37:20; 68:1
10 You have lifted up my horn 92:10 Ps 89:17,24; 112:9
like that of a wild ox;
I have been anointed 92:10 Syr reads you have anointed me with the finest oil. 92:10 Ps 45:7
11 My eyes look at my enemies;
when evildoers rise against me,
my ears hear them. 92:11 Ps 37:34; 54:7
12 The righteous thrive like a palm tree
and grow like a cedar tree in Lebanon. 92:12 Ps 1:3; Is 61:3; Jr 17:8
13 Planted in the house of the Lord,
they thrive in the courts of our God. 92:13 Is 60:21
14 They will still bear fruit in old age,
healthy and green, 92:14 Is 37:31; 46:4
15 to declare, "The Lord is just;
he is my rock,
and there is no unrighteousness in him." 92:15 Dt 32:4; Ps 18:2; 94:22
