Psalm 92

CEB

MSG

1 It is good to give thanks to the LORD, to sing praises to your name, Most High;
1 What a beautiful thing, God, to give thanks, to sing an anthem to you, the High God!
2 to proclaim your loyal love in the morning, your faithfulness at nighttime
2 To announce your love each daybreak, sing your faithful presence all through the night,
3 with the ten-stringed harp, with the melody of the lyre
3 Accompanied by dulcimer and harp, the full-bodied music of strings.
4 because you've made me happy, LORD, by your acts. I sing with joy because of your handiwork.
4 You made me so happy, God. I saw your work and I shouted for joy.
5 How awesome are your works, LORD! Your thoughts are so deep!
5 How magnificent your work, God! How profound your thoughts!
6 Ignorant people don't know— fools don't understand this:
6 Dullards never notice what you do; fools never do get it.
7 though the wicked spring up like grass and all evildoers seem to blossom, they do so only to be destroyed forever.
7 When the wicked popped up like weeds and all the evil men and women took over, You mowed them down, finished them off once and for all.
8 But you, LORD, are exalted forever!
8 You, God, are High and Eternal.
9 Look at your enemies, LORD! Look at how your enemies die, how all evildoers are scattered abroad!
9 Look at your enemies, God! Look at your enemies - ruined! Scattered to the winds, all those hirelings of evil!
10 But you've made me as strong as a wild ox. I'm soaked in precious ointment.
10 But you've made me strong as a charging bison, you've honored me with a festive parade.
11 My eyes have seen my enemies' defeat; my ears have heard the downfall of my evil foes.
11 The sight of my critics going down is still fresh, the rout of my malicious detractors. My ears are filled with the sounds of promise:
12 The righteous will spring up like a palm tree. They will grow strong like a cedar of Lebanon.
12 "Good people will prosper like palm trees, Grow tall like Lebanon cedars;
13 Those who have been replanted in the LORD's house will spring up in the courtyards of our God.
13 transplanted to God's courtyard, They'll grow tall in the presence of God,
14 They will bear fruit even when old and gray; they will remain lush and fresh
14 lithe and green, virile still in old age."
15 in order to proclaim: "The LORD is righteous. He's my rock. There's nothing unrighteous in him."
15 Such witnesses to upright God! My Mountain, my huge, holy Mountain!
