Psalm 92

Thanksgiving for Vindication

A Psalm. A Song for the Sabbath Day.
¹ It is good to give thanks to the Lord,
   to sing praises to your name, O Most High;
² to declare your steadfast love in the morning,
   and your faithfulness by night,
³ to the music of the lute and the harp,
   to the melody of the lyre.
⁴ For you, O Lord, have made me glad by your work;
   at the works of your hands I sing for joy.

⁵ How great are your works, O Lord!
   Your thoughts are very deep!
⁶ The dullard cannot know,
   the stupid cannot understand this:
⁷ though the wicked sprout like grass
   and all evildoers flourish,
they are doomed to destruction for ever,
⁸   but you, O Lord, are on high for ever.
⁹ For your enemies, O Lord,
   for your enemies shall perish;
   all evildoers shall be scattered.

¹⁰ But you have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox;
   you have poured over me^* fresh oil.
¹¹ My eyes have seen the downfall of my enemies;
   my ears have heard the doom of my evil assailants.

¹² The righteous flourish like the palm tree,
   and grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
¹³ They are planted in the house of the Lord;
   they flourish in the courts of our God.
¹⁴ In old age they still produce fruit;
   they are always green and full of sap,
¹⁵ showing that the Lord is upright;
   he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

Psalm 93

The Majesty of God’s Rule

¹ The Lord is king, he is robed in majesty;
   the Lord is robed, he is girded with strength.
He has established the world; it shall never be moved;
²   your throne is established from of old;
   you are from everlasting.

³ The floods have lifted up, O Lord,
   the floods have lifted up their voice;
   the floods lift up their roaring.
⁴ More majestic than the thunders of mighty waters,
   more majestic than the waves^* of the sea,
   majestic on high is the Lord!

⁵ Your decrees are very sure;
   holiness befits your house,
   O Lord, for evermore.
