Psalms 92

1A psalm of a canticle on the sabbath day.

2It is good to give praise to the Lord: and to sing to thy name, O most High.

3To shew forth thy mercy in the morning, and thy truth in the night:

4Upon an instrument of ten strings, upon the psaltery: with a canticle upon the harp.

5For thou hast given me, O Lord, a delight in thy doings: and in the works of thy hands I shall rejoice.

6O Lord, how great are thy works! thy thoughts are exceeding deep.

7The senseless man shall not know: nor will the fool understand these things.

8When the wicked shall spring up as grass: and all the workers of iniquity shall appear: That they may perish for ever and ever:

9But thou, O Lord, art most high for evermore.

10For behold thy enemies, O Lord, for behold thy enemies shall perish: and all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

11But my horn shall be exalted like that of the unicorn: and my old age in plentiful mercy.

12My eye also hath looked down upon my enemies: and my ear shall hear of the downfall of the malignant that rise up against me.

13The just shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow up like the cedar of Libanus.

14They that are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of the house of our God.

15They shall still increase in a fruitful old age: and shall be well treated,

16That they may shew, That the Lord our God is righteous, and there is no iniquity in him.

1Psalmus cantici, in die sabbati.

2[Bonum est confiteri Domino, et psallere nomini tuo, Altissime:

3ad annuntiandum mane misericordiam tuam, et veritatem tuam per noctem,

4in decachordo, psalterio; cum cantico, in cithara.

5Quia delectasti me, Domine, in factura tua; et in operibus manuum tuarum exsultabo.

6Quam magnificata sunt opera tua, Domine ! nimis profundæ factæ sunt cogitationes tuæ.

7Vir insipiens non cognoscet, et stultus non intelliget hæc.

8Cum exorti fuerint peccatores sicut fœnum, et apparuerint omnes qui operantur iniquitatem, ut intereant in sæculum sæculi:

9tu autem Altissimus in æternum, Domine.

10Quoniam ecce inimici tui, Domine, quoniam ecce inimici tui peribunt; et dispergentur omnes qui operantur iniquitatem.

11Et exaltabitur sicut unicornis cornu meum, et senectus mea in misericordia uberi.

12Et despexit oculus meus inimicos meos, et in insurgentibus in me malignantibus audiet auris mea.

13Justus ut palma florebit; sicut cedrus Libani multiplicabitur.

14Plantati in domo Domini, in atriis domus Dei nostri florebunt.

15Adhuc multiplicabuntur in senecta uberi, et bene patientes erunt:

16ut annuntient quoniam rectus Dominus Deus noster, et non est iniquitas in eo.]

1A Canticle Psalm. On the day of the Sabbath.

2It is good to confess to the Lord and to sing psalms to your name, O Most High:

3to announce your mercy in the morning, and your truth throughout the night,

4upon the ten strings, upon the psaltery, with a canticle, upon stringed instruments.

5For you, O Lord, have delighted me with your doings, and I will exult in the works of your hands.

6How great are your works, O Lord! Your thoughts have been made exceedingly deep.

7A foolish man will not know these things, and a senseless one will not understand:

8when sinners will have risen up like grass, and when all those who work iniquity will have appeared, that they shall pass away, age after age.

9But you, O Lord, are the Most High for all eternity.

10For behold your enemies, O Lord, for behold your enemies will perish, and all those who work iniquity will be dispersed.

11And my horn will be exalted like that of the single-horned beast, and my old age will be exalted in fruitful mercy.

12And my eye has looked down upon my enemies, and my ear will hear of the malignant rising up against me.

13The just one will flourish like the palm tree. He will be multiplied like the cedar of Lebanon.

14Those planted in the house of the Lord will flourish in the courts of the house of our God.

15They will still be multiplied in a fruitful old age, and they will endure well,

16so that they may announce that the Lord our God is righteous and that there is no iniquity in him.
