Psalm 92
Bonum est confiteri
1
It is a good thing to give thanks to the LORD ,
and to sing praises to your Name, O Most High;
2
To tell of your loving-kindness early in the morning
and of your faithfulness in the night season;
3
On the psaltery, and on the lyre,
and to the melody of the harp.
4
For you have made me glad by your acts, O LORD ;
and I shout for joy because of the works of your hands.
5
LORD , how great are your works!
your thoughts are very deep.
6
The dullard does not know, nor does the fool understand,
that though the wicked grow like weeds, and all the workers of iniquity flourish,
7
They flourish only to be destroyed for ever;
but you, O LORD , are exalted for evermore.
8
For lo, your enemies, O LORD , lo, your enemies shall perish,
and all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
9
But my horn you have exalted like the horns of wild bulls;
I am anointed with fresh oil.
10
My eyes also gloat over my enemies,
and my ears rejoice to hear the doom of the wicked who rise up against me.
11
The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree,
and shall spread abroad like a cedar of Lebanon.
12
Those who are planted in the house of the LORD
shall flourish in the courts of our God;
13
They shall still bear fruit in old age;
they shall be green and succulent;
14
That they may show how upright the LORD is,
my Rock, in whom there is no fault.
