Psalm 92

Bonum est confiteri

The Book of Common Prayer (1979) · 14 verses

  1. 1

    It is a good thing to give thanks to the LORD, *
    and to sing praises to your Name, O Most High;

  2. 2

    To tell of your loving-kindness early in the morning *
    and of your faithfulness in the night season;

  3. 3

    On the psaltery, and on the lyre, *
    and to the melody of the harp.

  4. 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. 5

    LORD, how great are your works! *
    your thoughts are very deep.

  6. 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. 7

    They flourish only to be destroyed for ever; *
    but you, O LORD, are exalted for evermore.

  8. 8

    For lo, your enemies, O LORD, lo, your enemies shall perish, *
    and all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

  9. 9

    But my horn you have exalted like the horns of wild bulls; *
    I am anointed with fresh oil.

  10. 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. 11

    The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree, *
    and shall spread abroad like a cedar of Lebanon.

  12. 12

    Those who are planted in the house of the LORD *
    shall flourish in the courts of our God;

  13. 13

    They shall still bear fruit in old age; *
    they shall be green and succulent;

  14. 14

    That they may show how upright the LORD is, *
    my Rock, in whom there is no fault.
