Psalm 92 – 93
Psalm 92
It Is Good to Praise the Lord
Heading
A psalm. A song. For the Sabbath.
A Call to Praise
1Ā It is good to give thanks to the Lord,
to make music to your name, O Most High,
2Ā to proclaim your mercy in the morning
and your faithfulness every night,
3Ā with a ten-stringed instrument and with a harp,
with a melody on a lyre.
The Blessings of Praise
4Ā Yes, you make me glad by your work, O Lord.
I sing loudly at the works of your hands.
5Ā How great are your works, O Lord.
Your thoughts are very deep!
The Folly and Fall of the Wicked
6Ā The senseless man does not know,
and the fool does not understand thisā
7Ā when the wicked spring up like weeds,
and all evildoers bloom like flowers,
they will be destroyed forever.
Central Affirmation
8Ā But you are exalted forever, O Lord.
The Fall of the Wicked
9Ā Without a doubt your enemies, O Lord,
without a doubt your enemies will perish.
All evildoers will be scattered.
The Blessing of the Righteous
10Ā But you have raised my horn like that of a wild ox. [1]
I am drenched with fresh oil. [2]
11Ā My eyes have looked in triumph over my adversaries.
When evildoers rise against me, my ears hear their defeat.
12Ā The righteous will shoot up like a palm tree.
They will grow tall like a cedar in Lebanon.
13Ā Planted in the house of the Lord,
they will shoot up in the courtyards of our God.
14Ā They will still produce fruit in old age.
They will stay fresh and green.
Closing Praise
15Ā Yes, they can proclaim, āThe Lord is upright.
He is my Rock, and he does no wrong.ā
Psalm 93
The Lord Rules the World
1Ā The Lord reigns. He is clothed in majesty.
The Lord is clothedāhe wears strength like a belt.
Yes, the world stands firm. It will not be moved.
2Ā Your throne was established long ago.
You are from eternity.
3Ā The waves [3] have lifted up, O Lord,
the waves have lifted up their voice.
The waves roar loudly.
4Ā Mightier than the thundering of the great waters,
mightier than the breakers of the sea,
the Lord on high is mighty.
5Ā Your testimonies stand very firm.
Holiness beautifies your house for endless days, O Lord.
