Psalm 92
Bonum est confiteri
The Book of Common Prayer (1979) · 14 verses
- 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.
