A Song for the Sabbath
A psalm. A song for the Sabbath day.
92 1 It is good to give thanks to our Father, to sing praises to your name, Most High, 2 to declare your covenant love in the morning, and your faithfulness through the nights, 3 on the ten-stringed lute and on the harp, with the melody of the lyre. 4 For you have made me glad, our Father, by your work; at the works of your hands I sing for joy. 5 How great are your works, our Father! Your thoughts are very deep! 6 The senseless man does not know, and the fool does not understand this:
7 Though the wicked sprout like grass and all evildoers flourish, they are doomed to destruction forever. 8 But you, our Father, are on high forever. 9 For look, your enemies, our Father — look, your enemies will perish; all evildoers will be scattered. 10 But you have raised my horn high like a wild ox; I am anointed with fresh oil. 11 My eyes have looked on my watchful foes; my ears have heard the doom of the wicked who rise against me. 12 The righteous flourish like the palm tree; they grow like a cedar in Lebanon. 13 Planted in the house of our Father, they flourish in the courts of our Father. 14 They still bear fruit in old age; they stay fresh and green, 15 to declare that our Father is upright; he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
