1(92) A Psalm of a Song for the Sabbath-day. It is a good thing to give thanks to the Lord, and to sing praises to your name, O you Most High;
1It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High:
2to proclaim your mercy in the morning, and your truth by night,
2To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,
3on a lute of ten strings, with a song on the harp .
3Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound.
4For you, O Lord, have made me glad with your work: and in the operations of your hands will I exult.
4For thou, Lord, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.
5How have your works been magnified, O Lord! your thoughts are very deep.
5O Lord, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep.
6A foolish man will not know, and a senseless man will not understand this.
6A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this.
7When the sinners spring up as the grass, and all the workers of iniquity have watched; [it is] that they may be utterly destroyed for ever.
7When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever:
8But you, O Lord, are most high for ever.
8But thou, Lord, art most high for evermore.
9For, behold, your enemiesshall perish; and all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
9For, lo, thine enemies, O Lord, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
10But my horn shall be exalted [as the horn] of a unicorn; and my old age with rich mercy.
10But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.
11And my eye has seen my enemies, and my ear shall hear the wicked that rise up against me.
11Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies, and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me.
12The righteous shall flourish as a palm tree: he shall be increased as the cedar in Libanus.
12The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13They that are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God.
13Those that be planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God.
