Psalms 92

ESV

MSG

1 It is good to give thanks to the LORD, to sing praises to your name, O Most High;
1 What a beautiful thing, God, to give thanks, to sing an anthem to you, the High God!
2 to declare your steadfast love in the morning, and your faithfulness by night,
2 To announce your love each daybreak, sing your faithful presence all through the night,
3 to the music of the lute and the harp, to the melody of the lyre.
3 Accompanied by dulcimer and harp, the full-bodied music of strings.
4 For you, O LORD, have made me glad by your work; at the works of your hands I sing for joy.
4 You made me so happy, God. I saw your work and I shouted for joy.
5 How great are your works, O LORD! Your thoughts are very deep!
5 How magnificent your work, God! How profound your thoughts!
6 The stupid man cannot know; the fool cannot understand this:
6 Dullards never notice what you do; fools never do get it.
7 that though the wicked sprout like grass and all evildoers flourish, they are doomed to destruction 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, O LORD, are on high forever.
8 You, God, are High and Eternal.
9 For behold, your enemies, O LORD, for behold, your enemies shall perish; all evildoers shall be scattered.
9 Look at your enemies, God! Look at your enemies - ruined! Scattered to the winds, all those hirelings of evil!
10 But you have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox; you have poured over me fresh oil.
10 But you've made me strong as a charging bison, you've honored me with a festive parade.
11 My eyes have seen the downfall of my enemies; my ears have heard the doom of my evil assailants.
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 flourish like the palm tree and grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
12 "Good people will prosper like palm trees, Grow tall like Lebanon cedars;
13 They are planted in the house of the LORD; they flourish in the courts of our God.
13 transplanted to God's courtyard, They'll grow tall in the presence of God,
14 They still bear fruit in old age; they are ever full of sap and green,
14 lithe and green, virile still in old age."
15 to declare that the LORD is upright; he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
15 Such witnesses to upright God! My Mountain, my huge, holy Mountain!
