A sabbath song. ^psalm-92-1 ### I 2 It is good to give thanks to the LORD, ^psalm-92-2 to sing praise to your name, Most High, 3 To proclaim your love at daybreak, ^psalm-92-3 your faithfulness in the night, 4 With the ten-stringed harp, ^psalm-92-4 with melody upon the lyre. 5 For you make me jubilant, LORD, by your deeds; ^psalm-92-5 at the works of your hands I shout for joy. ### II 6 How great are your works, LORD! ^psalm-92-6 How profound your designs! 7 A senseless person cannot know this; ^psalm-92-7 a fool cannot comprehend. 8 Though the wicked flourish like grass ^psalm-92-8 and all sinners thrive, They are destined for eternal destruction; 9 but you, LORD, are forever on high. ^psalm-92-9 10 Indeed your enemies, LORD, ^psalm-92-10 indeed your enemies shall perish; all sinners shall be scattered. ### III 11 You have given me the strength of a wild ox; ^psalm-92-11 you have poured rich oil upon me. 12 My eyes look with glee on my wicked enemies; ^psalm-92-12 my ears shall hear what happens to my wicked foes. 13 The just shall flourish like the palm tree, ^psalm-92-13 shall grow like a cedar of Lebanon. 14 Planted in the house of the LORD, ^psalm-92-14 they shall flourish in the courts of our God. 15 They shall bear fruit even in old age, ^psalm-92-15 they will stay fresh and green, 16 To proclaim: “The LORD is just; ^psalm-92-16 my rock, in whom there is no wrong.” \* (Psalm 92) A hymn of praise and thanks for God’s faithful deeds ([Ps 92:2] – [5]). The wicked, deluded by their prosperity ([Ps 92:6] – [9]), are punished ([Ps 92:10]), whereas the psalmist has already experienced God’s protection ([Ps 92:11] – [15]). \* (92:14) Planted: the just are likened to trees growing in the sacred precincts of the Temple, which is often seen as the source of life and fertility because of God’s presence, cf.
