Psalms 92

Berean Standard Bible

Chapter summary

Psalm 92 begins by stating that it is good to give thanks to the LORD, declare His loving devotion in the morning and faithfulness at night, and make music with a ten-stringed harp and lyre. The speaker rejoices in the great works and deep thoughts of the LORD, noting that senseless people do not understand that wicked evildoers, though sprouting like grass, are destined for eternal destruction. In contrast, the LORD remains exalted forever while His enemies perish and evildoers are scattered. The speaker's horn is exalted like that of a wild ox, anointed with fine oil, enabling them to witness the downfall and hear the wailing of their foes. Finally, the psalm describes the righteous as flourishing like palm trees and growing like cedars of Lebanon, planted in the house of the LORD to bear fruit even in old age and declare that the LORD is upright.

¹It is good to praise the LORD, and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High, ²to proclaim Your loving devotion in the morning and Your faithfulness at night ³with the ten-stringed harp and the melody of the lyre. ⁴For You, O LORD, have made me glad by Your deeds; I sing for joy at the works of Your hands. ⁵How great are Your works, O LORD, how deep are Your thoughts! ⁶A senseless man does not know, and a fool does not understand, ⁷that though the wicked sprout like grass, and all evildoers flourish, they will be forever destroyed. ⁸But You, O LORD, are exalted forever! ⁹For surely Your enemies, O LORD, surely Your enemies will perish; all evildoers will be scattered. ¹⁰But You have exalted my horn like that of a wild ox; with fine oil I have been anointed. ¹¹My eyes see the downfall of my enemies; my ears hear the wailing of my wicked foes. ¹²The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, and grow like a cedar in Lebanon. ¹³Planted in the house of the LORD, they will flourish in the courts of our God. ¹⁴In old age they will still bear fruit; healthy and green they will remain, ¹⁵to proclaim, “The LORD is upright; He is my Rock, and in Him there is no unrighteousness.”
